At some point it had to come... and it was this past early morning. Joao Fonseca has already lost some matches in his short career, but the latest one may sting a little more than the others. The Brazilian arrived at the ATP 250 in Buenos Aires as the defending champion, a garment laden with pressure that he has not been able to sustain even for a single round. Last night, defeated by Alejandro Tabilo (6-3, 3-6, 7-5), Joao discovered how tough the circuit can be when you share the expectations of those at the top. A tough day at the office for a man who has yet to win a match this season.
