Joao Fonseca (18) takes on Andrey Rublev at the Australian Open for his first Grand Slam match

Fonseca led 4-0, knocking out Rublev – rather calm until then – who was swinging his racket on the ground. But the Brazilian was a little more timid on the following points and his rival recovered to 5-5. The 18-year-old quickly learned his lesson with a very daring long-line backhand and a masterfully winning forehand to secure this victory. His first in a Grand Slam and, given what he showed this Tuesday, between his game and his personality, there is no doubt that there will be others. Starting, perhaps, with his second round in Melbourne against Lorenzo Sonego.
