He causes a sensation wherever he goes. Joao Fonseca managed to shake off the hangover from his success in Basel with a commendable victory over Shapovalov at the ATP Rolex Paris Masters 2025, but he wants more. Brimming with confidence, the Brazilian aims to finish the year on a high note and enter the next season in the best possible shape.

He is one of the great sensations of the season, and fewer are daring to question that we are witnessing the emergence of a generational talent. Joao Fonseca is clear that he must capitalize on the confidence gained in Basel to make one last effort this season. Already among the top 30 in the world, the Brazilian intends to make an impression at the ATP Rolex Paris Masters 2025, despite experiencing back discomfort, which did not hinder his victory over Shapovalov and his consideration that he can prevail against Karen Khachanov in the second round.

Fonseca dispels doubts about his back issues and eagerly looks forward to facing Khachanov in Paris

"I think it has been a great experience for me to be able to change my mindset so quickly. It is not easy to win a first round a few days after becoming a champion in a tournament. I am very proud and satisfied with how I have mentally managed this new situation for me," admitted Fonseca, who was attended to by the physiotherapist several times for back pain. "I will be ready for the next match. I felt the area was a bit loaded, but it's nothing a good physiotherapist can't solve," he asserted.

What lies ahead for the young Brazilian now is a real test, with Karen Khachanov emerging as a very challenging opponent on these courts, where he was the champion in 2018. "He knows how to win a tournament of this caliber, has the necessary tennis to beat anyone, and a great deal of experience. It will be the first time I face him, and I am eager to measure myself," stated a player strongly supported in Paris by the Brazilian audience.

"A few years ago, I felt a lot of pressure playing in front of a supportive crowd, but now I love playing with a noisy crowd that helps me in the good and bad moments. I know that wherever I go, there will be Brazilian spectators, and I really enjoy them," said a young man aware of his progression. "It has been vital to establish a good schedule this year to preserve my physical and mental freshness. I am enjoying the circuit a lot; I cannot complain about what I am doing in my first year competing throughout the season," stated Joao Fonseca, who aims to stay alive in the ATP Rolex Paris Masters 2025.
