Joao Fonseca enjoyed and entertained with a closely contested match against a great Jaume Munar who couldn't push harder. Despite a tremendous effort from the Spaniard, it was the Brazilian player who secured the ticket to the final of ATP Basel 2025 by winning with a score of 7-6(4) and 7-5 in 1 hour and 54 minutes.
The beginning of the match was more than promising, with a long exchange that ended with a perfect drop shot leaving Fonseca helpless at the net. The Brazilian needed few shots to punish Munar with his incredible power-packed forehand winners.
The pressure shifted directly to the Spanish side, as Jaume had to work harder than his opponent to hold his service games. Far from crumbling under pressure, Jaume displayed his best tennis, showcasing skills to outplay Fonseca both at the net and from the baseline with spectacular running winners.
Joao, determined to reach the tiebreak, also didn't easily give in. The Spaniard and the Brazilian left everything out on the court during those crucial moments, but Fonseca made a superior quality jump to gain the necessary edge and clinch the first set of the match.

Focusing on the positives in his game, the Spaniard struck back at Joao with an early break in the second set. However, the inability to extend his lead later put Jaume on the ropes, unable to defend against the relentless attacks coming from the other side of the net.
Being up 4-2, Munar saw Fonseca shift to 4-5, overturning a set that seemed to be within his grasp. Using that rarely unsuccessful wide serve, the European clung to the fight. Not for too long. Regaining strength from the baseline, Joao found Jaume's errors to confirm his place in the great final of ATP Basel 2025.
