Joao Fonseca continues to take giant steps at Wimbledon 2026. The Brazilian secured his spot in the third round after a convincing victory over Jesper de Jong (6-1, 7-5, 6-4) and, after the match, he explained why he is feeling more comfortable on a surface that historically requires an adjustment period. For the 19-year-old, the key has a very clear name: bravery.

"It was one of the best matches I've played on grass. I felt very good with my movement, serve, return, and net approaches. Additionally, the mentality was very strong from the beginning," Fonseca summarized after his victory.

The Brazilian believes that grass demands competing with a different attitude. "On this surface, you have to be brave. You can't be afraid to slide or move. If you hesitate, the ball ends up beating you. You have to play with constant courage," he explained. He also noted that, due to the court being so fast, every detail becomes extremely important. "There are very few opportunities to break serve, so you must maintain concentration throughout the entire match," he added.

Fonseca was also asked about how he handles the increasing expectations surrounding him in a setting like Wimbledon. Far from feeling overwhelmed, he stated that balance off the court is crucial. "What helps me the most is the people I have around me. I'm sharing a house with my family and my entire team, and that makes me happy on and off the court," he confessed.

This stability allows him to face pressure naturally. "I just try to stick to my routine. We train over and over so that, when the match comes, everything flows automatically. If you are happy off the court, then it's much easier to perform well on it," concluded Fonseca, who continues to establish himself as one of the great revelations of Wimbledon 2026. His opponent in the third round will be Roman Safiullin.
