Although all the attention was focused on the Californian desert, with the great finals taking place in Indian Wells 2025, some eyes were turning towards Arizona. After losing in the Masters 1000 against the eventual champion, Joao Fonseca, was focusing on winning at the Phoenix Challenger, a new test in a promising path where the Brazilian continues to climb steps at a great speed.

Third Challenger in his collection

"It's my third title in the Challenger category, so I'm very happy," confessed the young tennis player shortly after lifting the trophy, as reported on the official ATP page. This title adds to his collection of Challengers from Lexington and Canberra. "This was very important for me after losing to Draper last week. It was crucial to have a good streak in this Challenger, a 175, but that could easily be like an ATP 250 due to the players' ranking. It has been super, super tough."

The Brazilian joins Delpo and Guillermo Coria as the only South American tennis players to win three Challenger titles at 18 years old or younger, demonstrating his great potential in the tennis world, although without the need for comparisons, something Joao has made clear on numerous occasions.

Fonseca, ready to take the big leap. Will it be in Miami?

Fonseca also improves in the rankings. The young Brazilian remains in the Top 100 and is approaching his best position in the ATP Ranking so far. From position number 62, Joao will try to take a big leap at the 2025 Miami Open, a tournament he enters with great confidence after winning the title in Phoenix.
