The Argentine opens up and reflects on the possibility of becoming a coach, Djokovic's current motivation... and his similarities with Joao Fonseca.
Joao Fonseca
It has become common for many ATP circuit players to respond to questions about who their perfect player would be. In this little game, the best players have participated, and the latest to undergo it was Joao Fonseca, who was questioned by ESPN about the best in aspects like backhand, forehand, or serve. His answers are worth noting... and are clearly influenced by the Big Three, especially by Roger Federer.
Fonseca's Perfect Player
- Forehand: del Potro
- Backhand: Djokovic
- Volleys: Federer
- Slice: Federer
- Serve: Perricard
- Mobility: Nadal
- Mentality: Nadal
João montou o seu tenista perfeito.

Joao Fonseca is not carried away by his recent successful performances in the early months of the season. Instead of only going to big stages, he doesn't hesitate to return to the Challenger circuit. The Brazilian will compete in the ATP Challenger 175 Estoril 2025 next week, from April 14 to 20, leading a very notable lineup that includes other names like Struff, Nishikori, Pedro Martínez, Michelsen, and Tien.

The worldwide impact and the buzz surrounding Joao Fonseca are becoming increasingly evident in the decisions of many tournaments. The uproar and influence of the Brazilian player are undeniable, and the Mutua Madrid Open 2025 knows it well, having placed him in a "stellar" session for his debut in this edition. A slight change in the schedule for Thursday, April 24: the night session at Manolo Santana will consist of only one match, featuring Coco Gauff against a player yet to be determined, starting no earlier than 7:00 PM; Joao will face the Danish player Elmer Moller in the fourth match of the day session, around 4:15 PM. The day marks the beginning of the second round for the women, with the star match being a Swiatek vs Eala showdown starting around 12:30 PM.

The young Brazilian reveals what he believes is his greatest virtue, talks about short-term goals, and makes interesting reflections before the Mutua Madrid Open 2025.
We review the roster of players whose level clearly rises on clay, being called to deliver some upsets on this tour.
Joao Fonseca has had a very demanding first quarter of the season both physically and mentally, playing 32 matches since the start of the year at the Next Gen ATP Finals held in Saudi Arabia. His qualitative leap grants him the privilege of breaking into the top 60 in the world, ensuring his presence in the final draw of important tournaments, such as the Mutua Madrid Open 2025.
It will be here where he will reappear after taking a few weeks to undergo a training block following some rest days. It is expected that he will also compete in the Rome tournament and if he is eliminated early in either of the two events, he may decide to participate in a Challenger in the second week of these Masters 1000, as he did in Phoenix after falling in Indian Wells. The goal will be to arrive at Roland Garros 2025 with competitive rhythm, confidence, and physical and mental freshness.

As you hear it. It didn't need to be a final, not even a Grand Slam, it was enough to have Joan Fonseca playing the third round of the Miami 2025 Masters 1000. That match against Alex De Minaur became the most watched tennis event in the entire history of ESPN Brazil last Monday, confirming, just in case there was any doubt, that this guy has come to gather a whole country in front of the TV. As reported by the Bola Amarela colleagues, the match was the most watched in that time slot on pay-TV, with a 69% difference from the second. And Joao even lost!
