Joao Fonseca, One of the Big Beneficiaries of Djokovic's Withdrawal in Madrid

The withdrawal of Novak Djokovic from the Mutua Madrid Open 2026 has come as a cold shower for all tennis fans. Even more so for the Spanish who were hoping to see him on the court once again. However, it's a stroke of luck for some of the players who will indeed participate in the tournament. Mainly for Joao Fonseca. The Brazilian thus becomes a seeded player in the Capital and Spanish Masters 1000. This way, he advances directly to the second round, without the need to play the first, and avoids facing another seeded player until at least the third.
