American Jenson Brooksby: Joao Fonseca continued his remarkable rise on Wednesday, making history as he reached the third round of Wimbledon in his debut appearance at the prestigious tournament. The 18-year-old Brazilian overcame American Jenson Brooksby 6-4, 5-7, 6-2, 6-4 in a gritty, wind-swept battle that lasted over three hours.
In just his fourth career tour-level event on grass, Fonseca showcased maturity beyond his years. Battling tricky, windy conditions on Court 12, the #NextGenATP star held his nerve against the crafty American, who tried to disrupt the rhythm with drop shots and variety. Brooksby, fresh off a finals run at Eastbourne, succeeded in patches—especially in the second set and during a fourth-set break to level at 4-4—but Fonseca quickly snuffed out the threat with big serving, blistering groundstrokes, and fearless aggression as per ATP.
