Very impressive by Fonseca.

Might have a great talent on the horizon. The sport is crying out for new stars to emerge.

No wonder Woodbridge had a go at Kokkanakis for playing an exhibition match.

If anything unlike our dumb players he kept himself fresh. Smart.

Maybe our two in Kokkanakis and Poporyin can learn something there…they won’t though

Fonseca won a Challenger tournament 2 weeks ago in Canberra & had 3 qualifying rounds last week, so he's played a fair few matches leading in

Fonseca?

He played 5 games in the Challenger Canberra then had to play 4 Qualifiers to get into the main draw. Tonight is match 10 since December 31.

10 matches in 14 days. Insane

Fonseca is world number 98, before this result. Was 112 before qualifying. Probably gets to 75-80.

Why are you betting on TAB when you could have got $60+ on betfair?

What a joy it was watching Fonseca last night. This kid is the real deal. Those FH’s are just insane. If you’re going to watch any of it, check out the first set TB. I mean that’s as flawless as you’re going to get, while going all out. Remarkable.

First saw him just under 2 years ago, and the improvements are big. His serve has really beefed up, his rally tolerance improved, moving a little more dynamic. Small steps over the past 2 years working on his flaws.

Assuming he continues to work hard, stays fit, honestly look out. He’s going to be a star. Between him, Carlos, Sinner and Mensik, we’ve got a fun decade coming up. Maybe Prizmic and Fils too.
