ESPN Brazil breaks audience records with Fonseca

As you hear it. It didn't need to be a final, not even a Grand Slam, it was enough to have Joan Fonseca playing the third round of the Miami 2025 Masters 1000. That match against Alex De Minaur became the most watched tennis event in the entire history of ESPN Brazil last Monday, confirming, just in case there was any doubt, that this guy has come to gather a whole country in front of the TV. As reported by the Bola Amarela colleagues, the match was the most watched in that time slot on pay-TV, with a 69% difference from the second. And Joao even lost!

De Minaur uses tweet to remember the audience of the Miami Open

A tremendous battle was gifted to us tonight by Alex De Minaur and Joao Fonseca at the Miami Open 2025. The Australian emerged victorious, but the real winner was the audience who enjoyed two and a half hours of maximum intensity and sheer suspense. After the match, the world No. 11 checked his phone, logged into Twitter, and shared a message of affection to the fans. Though they were quite noisy and a large portion supported the Brazilian player, these are the environments any player needs to compete in. A good gesture from Alex, who had to stay strong in certain moments of hostility.

The curious signature of De Miñaur after defeating Fonseca dedicated to the Brazilian audience

A tense match from start to finish unfolded between both Alex De Miñaur and Joao Fonseca at the 2025 Miami Open. Lahyani even took to speaking in Portuguese to the Brazilian audience to call for calm in the stands when necessary, though the atmosphere drew global attention. So much so that the Australian, after winning, gestured to the camera saying "Rio Open," as if Miami had been teleported to South American lands.

The phenomenon Fonseca is loose in Miami

Joao Fonseca has already submitted his candidacy to win the Miami Open 2025. The 18-year-old Brazilian took advantage of Jannik Sinner's withdrawal and Carlos Alcaraz's early exit to showcase a perfect performance against Ugo Humbert. In just 1 hour and 10 minutes, the young player dominated a solid and established opponent like the Frenchman, who had no chance (6-4 6-3). His numbers were more than surprising, as Joao captured 96% of points played with his first serve (26/27) and 79% with the second. Additionally, he won 70% of points when Humbert played with a second serve. Spectacular. In the third round, Joao Fonseca will face Alex De Miñaur or Bu Yunchaokete.
