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

This is called taking care of your entrance. Joao Fonseca was not completely unknown when approaching this Australian Open. The trajectory of the 18-year-old Brazilian was already closely studied between his rise in the ATP rankings, his victory at the NextGen Masters at the end of last year and his game full of explosiveness and power. But he hit very hard for his first match in a big Grand Slam draw. The novice earned a Top 10, Andrey Rublev (7-6 [1]6-3, 7-6 [5]), and showed that the promises he sowed will not be without future.
