The winner of the latest other Gena is ready for ATP 250 in Buenos Aires: “After the Australian Open I have much more visibility, but I have to stay humble and work hard”
Zverev and Rune landed in South America. Despite attracting the attention of the majority of the media, at the 250 -point tournament in Buenos Aires, it is 18 -year -old Joao Fonseca. Who talked about himself by winning the last next final of the Gen in Gedda before he had the first Slam satisfaction in Australia. The Brazilian spread to Melbourne to Top 10, such as Andrey Rublev, and then greeted the competition in the second round against our Lorenzo Sonego. But the future is on its side. Everyone understood it in Buenos Aires, where cheering is, of course, everything for home tennis players. The director of Argentina 250, Marin J It does not act as a star to do, it is not an 18 -year -old classic. ”
Come Kuerten
–
Fonseca warmly thanked at a press conference and then added, “I have to be just humble and hard to work”. It is not easy when your name is spreading as the next third uncomfortable in the fight for Slams between Sinner and Alcaraz: many see the Brazilians up to bother these two giants, compared to the younger winners of the following General Joo Joao, although dry comparisons. Especially those who have already gone crazy with their expatriate legend, such as Gustavo Kuerten, winner of 20 ATP titles, three of which Roland Garros at the turn of 2000, as well as number 1 in the world. In many they see Garra “Guga” in a young Joao. This minimizes: “I hate to feel comparison because everyone has their own time. Guga is an idol not only for Brazilian tennis players, but also for all our people. He’s an idol as a player, an extraordinary person who told me fantastic things and deserves to listen to it. Sometimes they tell me I’m another Kuerten, but I want to be Joao. Everyone writes his own story: I want to write mine ”.
No psychologist

In the meantime, however, Fonseca-Mania broke out in Brazil: “I was in my country last week,” he says 18, “and I walked down the street to go to a physiotherapist. Some people stopped me to ask me for photos. Something new to me, never happened. After Australia, things have never seen things: much more visibility, more and more people who know me. I did not notice Melbourne, but when I came to Brazil, I realized that it happened to everyone bigger: suddenly I was famous ”. All mad for the winner of the next general, who will obviously be present at the home tournament, the 500 Rio, which will be played simultaneously with Doha, from 17th to February 23. In Brazil, everyone is waiting for a small sinner. What, as he said after the Australian Open, will no longer escape too many things on social media and focus only on performance: “I have to stay humble and work hard and I don’t have a psychologist. I tried, but it didn’t work because I didn’t like it. If I had to need it in the future, I will go there, but I think I have a good head to understand what happens. I talk so much with my parents, coach, my friends: So far I feel good. “He is called a little sinner, the mentality is the same.
