Brazilian Joao Fonseca keen to emulate Jannik Sinner with Next Gen title

The Hindu  

Brazilian teenager Joao Fonseca is hoping to follow in the footsteps of his idol and world number one Jannik Sinner by winning the Next Gen ATP Finals title in Sunday’s final at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It shows I’m on the right track and would be special,” said Fonseca, a hitting partner for Sinner at last year’s ATP Finals, where he was convinced by the Italian to turn professional. Fonseca faces American Learner Tien next with a victory set to make him wealthier by $526,480 as the unbeaten champion, and the Rio de Janeiro native is high on confidence. This year’s edition of the hardcourt event is the second to be held in Saudi Arabia and apart from handing out a huge amount as prize money also serves as a barometer to identify the game’s next big stars.
