Brazilian João Fonseca Beats Seeded Hurkacz at Roland Garros

Brazilian tennis prodigy João Fonseca, 18, made a striking impact at Roland Garros by defeating 30th-seeded Hubert Hurkacz in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4, 6-2, during his main draw debut. Fonseca dominated the match with powerful groundstrokes, hitting 36 winners against Hurkacz's 29, and maintained a strong serving performance. This victory follows Fonseca's earlier upset over top-10 player Andrey Rublev at the Australian Open, underscoring his rapid rise in the ATP rankings to No. 65. Next, Fonseca is set to face French veteran Pierre-Hugues Herbert, a five-time Grand Slam doubles champion and former top-40 singles player, who advanced after a tough five-set win in the first round. The matchup between the young Brazilian and the experienced Frenchman is highly anticipated, though the exact schedule and court details are pending. Fans can look forward to watching the contest on ESPN or via Disney+ streaming services.
