João Fonseca, an 18-year-old Brazilian tennis player ranked 57th in the ATP, made a notable debut at Wimbledon 2025. He trained with world number 2 Carlos Alcaraz before the tournament and received praise from the Spanish star. Fonseca won his first-round match against British player Jacob Fearnley, ranked 51st, in straight sets 6-4, 6-1, 7-6(5), marking his first Wimbledon main draw victory. This win made him the youngest male player to win a match at Wimbledon since Alcaraz in 2021 and broke a 61-year-old record. In the second round, Fonseca defeated American Jenson Brooksby, ranked in the top 101, in four sets 6-4, 5-7, 6-2, 6-4. This victory advanced him to the third round, making him the youngest man to reach this stage at Wimbledon since 2011 and ending a 15-year drought for Brazilian tennis at the tournament. Fonseca's next opponent in the third round is Chilean Nicolás Jarry. His performance has been widely recognized as remarkable for a player with limited grass-court experience, highlighting his power, athleticism, and potential as a rising talent in tennis.
