 | | 18-year-old Joao Fonseca: Three years ago I asked for autographs, and now the children are asking them for me. You need to get used to it5.03.2025 |
Joao Fonseca thanked the fans for support on NEXT GEN ATP Finals. Last week, the 18-year-old Brazilian won the youth final tournament without losing a single match.
It was great to see all week how people from other countries were sick for me. Nobody forced them, but they still had the same as if they were on me. I was very pleased. I like to entertain. At decisive moments, I need the help of the audience, whom I try to entertain. It was nice to see Brazilian fans on our website. All week in the stands there was a group. It was great to see how they were rooting for me and for our country.
Fonseca said that in childhood he went to the ATP 500 tournament in Rio and often approached the players for an autograph.
Three years ago I asked for autographs, and now the children are asking for them from me, I need to get used to it. When I walk along Rio, sometimes a child can come up and ask me for an autograph, and this is madness. It is very pleasant that I inspire children to play tennis.
