Fonseca Becomes Second-youngest Roland Garros Match Winner After Alcaraz
Roland Garros: Brazilian teen Joao Fonseca made a sparkling Roland Garros debut when he ousted the in-form Hubert Hurkacz 6-2, 6-4, 6-2, becoming the second-youngest match winner at the clay-court major in the past 10 years.
The 18-year-old is the second-youngest match winner at the clay-court major in the past 10 years, only behind an 18-year-old Carlos Alcaraz in 2021, according to ATP stats.
Still several months shy of his 19th birthday, Fonseca displayed zero nerves against Hurkacz and played emphatic tennis from the start, breaking serve twice in the first set and then again to start the second, with a beautiful cross court volley that brought the faithful out of their seats.
