Patrick Mouratoglou is used to giving his opinion on most things that happen in the world of tennis. The Frenchman, whose academy has been around for over thirty years, has the experience of coaching possibly the greatest tennis player in history, Serena Williams, one of the best female players of the last decade, Naomi Osaka, and one of the biggest prospects in men's tennis who hasn't quite made the leap expected of him, like Holger Rune.

Therefore, the Frenchman is more than a qualified voice to talk about two players who should be closely watched in 2026, following a successful 2025: Joao Fonseca and Victoria Mboko. He discussed both in a post on his Instagram account.

Patrick Mouratoglou bets on Joao Fonseca and Victoria Mboko as the great revelations of 2025

The Brazilian is one of the great hopes of current tennis and is a player often mentioned alongside Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, although it's clear he's not yet at the same level as the two top players on the circuit. Nevertheless, he closed out a very positive 2025 with his first two ATP titles (Buenos Aires and Basel) and as the world number 24.

In this context, Mouratoglou praised the Rio native: "He continued to grow this year. He had ups and downs too. He also faces tremendous pressure. You can imagine how much support he gets from Brazilian fans, which is positive, but it's also a lot of responsibility for such a young guy. Looking at his ranking, year after year, he's rocketing up. He is the future of men's tennis."

While not hesitating to include him in the medium-term predictions to compete with Alcaraz and Sinner: "He's potentially someone who, in the coming years, probably not next year, but in the following ones, can compete with Alcaraz and Sinner because he has everything for it."

On the other hand, Victoria Mboko also had a brilliant year with her victory in the Masters 1000 Montreal being the prime example. The Canadian also experienced some moments of instability but ended the year with another title, the WTA Hong Kong, and as the number 18 on the WTA ranking, having started the year as world number 333.

Mouratoglou also praised her: "She had an incredible season. She was out of the top 100. This year, she shone. She won a Masters 1000. Then she had some lows because, suddenly, the pressure became too high. She exploded onto the tennis and WTA world."

"The quality of her tennis, her physical attributes, her personality, I mean, she has the complete package and she is definitely the future of tennis. I am super happy to see her rise so fast. I feel she can do something great for tennis, potentially be an icon," concluded Patrick Mouratoglou who has high hopes for Joao Fonseca and Victoria Mboko.
