Injuries are once again one of the main topics of conversation on the men's circuit. The recent withdrawals of Jack Draper and Carlos Alcaraz, combined with the increasing number of physical issues affecting top players, have reopened the debate on the demands of modern tennis. When asked about this issue after defeating Roberto Bautista in his debut at Wimbledon 2026, Joao Fonseca made it clear that, for now, he feels no concern.

The Brazilian, one of the most explosive players on the circuit due to the power with which he hits the ball, was questioned about whether that physical style could increase the risk of injuries, especially in the arms and wrists. His response was unequivocal. "I'm not worried. What I need is to keep doing the necessary work to strengthen my arms and prevent anything bad from happening," Fonseca explained.

Joao Fonseca still has room for improvement in the physical aspect

The 19-year-old stated that his team pays special attention to physical preparation precisely to minimize that risk. "We are doing a great job. Clearly, there will come a time when you feel some discomfort, because that's part of the sport, but I hope it's nothing serious," he affirmed.

Fonseca believes that dealing with small discomforts is inevitable in a calendar as demanding as the ATP circuit's, although he insists that it does not affect his way of competing. "Something can always happen, but I'm not worried," he reiterated.

The statements come at a particularly delicate moment for men's tennis. In recent days, Jack Draper had to withdraw from Wimbledon due to an arm injury, while Carlos Alcaraz was also unable to play the tournament because of wrist problems. Two examples that have fueled the debate on the physical wear and tear demanded by modern tennis.

However, Fonseca prefers to stay calm. His confidence in preventive work and the preparation he undergoes with his team allows him to face the future optimistically, convinced that the path to avoiding injuries lies in training and not in changing his aggressive style of play.
