Fonseca is sponsored by the sports equipment brand ON, of which Roger Federer is one of the partners and investors. This puts him in a select group alongside other tennis greats such as Iga Swiatek and Ben Shelton. This association not only gives Fonseca access to high-quality equipment, but also raises his visibility on the international tennis scene, given Federer’s prestige in the industry.
João Fonseca’s career management
His parents, Christiano Fonseca Filho and Roberta Fonseca, play a fundamental role in managing his career, combining professional experience with family support. They were present at the Next Gen victory, which earned the athlete around R$3.3 million.
