«If he has doubts, I will be there» — Alcaraz praises Fonseca after their unprecedented duel
Alcaraz under the charm: «João has grown very quickly on the circuit»
At only 19 years old, João Fonseca is already impressing the tennis world. And when one of the best players in the world, Carlos Alcaraz, decides to publicly endorse him, it becomes an event.
After their exhibition in Miami, Alcaraz did not hesitate to paint a glowing portrait of the young Brazilian:
«João has grown very quickly on the circuit. He is a mature boy, with a very clear mindset, his feet on the ground and an excellent team around him. Moreover, he has already shown the world the very impressive level he has reached.»
«If he ever has doubts, I will be there»
Even better: Alcaraz has promised to help Fonseca if the young prodigy ever needs it.
«If he ever has doubts, I will be there. It wouldn't bother me to help him.»
A statement that symbolizes the respect between two phenomena of world tennis.
