ATP Tour: Fonseca Stuns Tsitsipas After Late Drama In Montreal
Next Gen ATP Finals: NextGenATP star Joao Fonseca returned to action in style at the Montreal Masters 2026, overcoming former finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas 7-6(3), 7-5 in a dramatic clash and securing a place in the third round.
Competing in his first tour-level match since his third-round defeat to Roman Safiullin at Wimbledon last month, Fonseca looked on course for a straight-sets finish before dropping serve while attempting to close out the match at 5-4 in the second set.
The 19-year-old, however, won eight of the next nine points to seal victory and become the first Brazilian to reach the third round at the Canadian ATP Masters 1000 event since ATP No. 1 Club member Gustavo Kuerten.
