João Fonseca continues to impress the tennis world with his above-average talent and maturity. This Wednesday (2), the 18-year-old beat American Jenson Brooksby 3 sets to 1 , with partial scores of 6/4, 5/7, 6/2 and 6/4, in 3h13min, and advanced to the third round of Wimbledon. With the result, he became the youngest to reach this stage in the men's draw of the English Grand Slam since 2011, when Bernard Tomic, then 18 years and eight months old — two younger than João —, reached the quarterfinals.


STAND OUT AMONG BRAZILIANS


With his victory over the world number 101, Fonseca also became the first Brazilian to reach the third round of Wimbledon since Thomaz Bellucci in 2010. In addition, he equaled his best performance in a Grand Slam, repeating his recent feat at Roland Garros, just over a month ago.


Currently ranked 54th in the world, the Rio native will face Chilean Nicolás Jarry, former number 16 in the ranking and currently 143rd, in the next round. His opponent also won this Wednesday, beating American Learner Tien (62nd) by 3 sets to 0 (6/2, 6/2 and 6/3).

THE GAME


Fonseca began to pressure Brooksby's serve in the first game, but it was the American who held serve. The Brazilian responded aggressively , held serve and, in the fifth game, took advantage of his first break chance to open up an advantage. Even under pressure, the youngster remained calm and saved two break points in the eighth game before closing the set at 6/4.

In the second set, the balance was even greater. João lost two break points in the opening game and the players continued to hold their serves until the score was 5-5 . In the twelfth game, Brooksby had three set points and converted the last one, closing at 7/5 and tying the match.

After a brief trip to the locker room, Fonseca returned refreshed. He broke Jenson's serve in the first game and dominated the set , opening up a 3-0 lead. Despite conceding a break, he regained control and closed it out at 6/2, retaking the lead in the match.

In the fourth and decisive set, the balance returned. Fonseca won a break in the fifth game and opened up a 4/2 lead, but wasted chances to extend his lead. Brooksby took advantage of the moment and returned the break, tying the score at 4/4 . João's response was immediate: another break and victory on his own serve, sealing the 6/4 and an unprecedented place in the third round of the traditional English tournament — in his first appearance on the sacred grass of Wimbledon.
