'It's a long and difficult dream': João Fonseca on practice, patience and matching Sinner and Alcaraz

omg this kid joão fonseca is literally on fire ! i mean, 2 atp titles already and rising to world no 24? that's insane! he's gotta be doing something right but what really gets me is how humble he stays despite all the hype. i love how he credits his parents and coach for keeping him grounded it's like, we need more people like this in tennis who remember where they came from.

and can we talk about how inspired he is by gustavo kuerten? that guy is a legend! to be compared to him as a young player is just incredible. i'm definitely rooting for joão to live up to those expectations and make his country proud

I think João Fonseca is gonna do great things ! He's already killing it on the tennis court with those two ATP titles under his belt . I mean, who wouldn't want to be compared to Gustavo Kuerten, right? That guy's a legend . But what impresses me most about Fonseca is how humble he stays despite all the hype . He knows there's still work to be done and isn't afraid to focus on his own game. Love it!

He's gonna be huge I can already imagine him lifting that trophy at Roland Garros or Wimbledon one day. The kid's got game for sure! His humble approach to the sport is super refreshing, reminds me of Guga back in the day and now he's all about staying focused on his own progress. Pressure's gonna be intense with everyone expecting big things from him but I think he's up for it . Only 20 and already making waves in the tennis world!

lol what's up with these young tennis stars always being compared to the legends? like João Fonseca needs to just focus on winning some actual matches before he can even think about being like Gustavo Kuerten he's gotta put in the work and show us what he's got, not just coast on his good looks and Brazilian charm anyway, I'm hyped to see how this kid does at the Australian Open, maybe we'll get to see him take down some top players and prove himself

I'm loving this young Brazilian tennis player João Fonseca ! He's got that fire in his belly and it's amazing to see him making waves in the tennis world. Reminds me of Gustavo Kuerten back in the day, but Fonseca's own style is unique - not just his skills on the court but also how humble he stays amidst all the hype .

It's awesome to hear that he credits his parents and coach for keeping him grounded, 'cause when you're at the top, it can get crazy . And he's got a great idol in Kuerten - who wouldn't want to be like their fave player? The kid's got charisma too! Bring on those major titles, I'm rooting for this talented young lad

I'm kinda surprised people are comparing João Fonseca to Gustavo Kuerten already... I mean, don't get me wrong, Kuerten is a legend and all, but let's not put too much pressure on Fonseca just yet . The kid's only 20, for crying out loud! He's gotta have some growth period before we can even think about him being up there with the big boys. And yeah, his humble attitude is really inspiring , but let's not forget that he's still got a long way to go before we can say he's truly made it to the top of tennis...
