Joao Fonseca is being a major protagonist in Indian Wells 2026 and many might think he will make a leap in the ATP ranking after reaching the round of 16 in the tournament, but nothing could be further from the truth. The Brazilian not only defends the second round of last year's Californian event but also the 175 points he earned by winning the Challenger event in Phoenix in 2025. Therefore, his qualification to the round of 16 in the first Masters 1000 event helps cushion the fall slightly, but he continues to lose points and is on the verge of dropping out of the top 40.
