The emotional words of Fonseca towards a Kuerte who vibrated with his tennis

Joao Fonseca was asked in the post-match interview after his victory over Ruud at Roland Garros 2026 about what it meant to him to see Gustavo Kuerten in the stands, cheering enthusiastically throughout the match with his compatriot. "He's an idol for our country, for our sport. For the charisma he has and how humble he is. He was already here when I made my junior debut; it meant a lot to see him on the court today," he added.
