Joao Fonseca has been tipped from a young age to reach the top in tennis and he has now been backed to end Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner\u2019s stranglehold on the ATP Tour.<\/p>\n
The Brazilian sensation<\/a> won the biggest title of his very short career when he beat Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the final of the Swiss Indoors and the Spaniard made a bold prediction when they shook hands after the match.<\/p>\n \u201cYou played unbelievable tennis today. You are the person of this sport. You have a bright future for sure. You\u2019re gonna be the next Nole to beat Carlos and Jannik for sure,\u201d the world No 15 told Fonseca<\/a>.<\/p>\n Novak Djokovic, of course, was the man to end Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal\u2019s dominance as he ended the Big Two partnership, forcing it into a Big Three before later turning it into the Big One as he broke most of the Fedal records.<\/p>\n Alcaraz and Sinner have also started ruling men\u2019s tennis as they have shared the last eight Grand Slams, winning four each, with many believing they will continue to be the top two for years to come.<\/p>\n But Davidovich Fokina feels Fonseca will be the man to end their monopoly, just like Djokovic did with Federer and Nadal.<\/p>\n Given the youngster\u2019s rise in the space of two years, it is easy to see why the Spaniard is backing him.<\/p>\n Who are Joao Fonseca\u2019s parents?

Everything we\u2019ve done this year has been carefully planned, down to the last detail, with a very well-structured start to the year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cI didn\u2019t play the Masters 1000 in Shanghai because we prioritised my well-being. At the beginning of the season, the goal was to play in all the Grand Slams. We adapted my goals as the season progressed.<\/p>\n \u201cI told my coach I wanted to be seeded at the next Australian Open, and now I\u2019m leaving here on the 28th or 27th, I don\u2019t remember \u2026 The tour is a sprint; in two days I\u2019ll be playing in a new tournament.
