Australian Open > Alcaraz, in demonstration, is already “thinking” about Fonseca: “I have to watch him. We will put Joao’s name on the list of the best players in the world very soon”

Easy winner of Nishioka (6−0, 6–1, 6–4), Carlos Alcaraz really played out. So at the press conference it was not necessarily a question of his homeland of the day but rather of the performance the day before of a certain Fonsceca, impressive against Rublev.

And Carlos, who observed the Brazilian, already knows that he will have to closely observe this new nugget.

« I saw it. I couldn’t watch him the whole match. In fact I was able to watch a little of the beginning and especially the end of the match. What can I say? It’s simply incredible. The way he played his first Grand Slam match against his first top 10, it’s crazy. The way he approached the match, the way he handled everything, the nerves, the match in general, it was fantastic. It’s someone I have to take care of, let’s say. I have to observe it. He’s going to be there. It’s only the start of the year, just one Grand Slam victory, but he will be there. We will put Joao Fonseca’s name on the list of the best players in the world very soon.”
