Another feather in Fonseca's cap
He has become the youngest Brazilian in the Open Era to reach tour level SF

 

[kskate2]

Dangerous takes out Zed in B.A. There's not a chance he's winning RG this year (as he boldly stated) if he can't win a 250 as the top seed.

If there was ever a time for Novak Djokovic to get #100 and rack up some titles to gain confidence for the French Open and Wimbledon, these next 3 months would be the perfect opportunity.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Novak Djokovic has confirmed that he will play both IW and Miami, and that Murray will be coaching him there.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Unintended consequence from Sinner now being banned is that Jack Draper will now be seeded for Doha
Doha Update:
OUT: Sinner
IN: Safiullin

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

The Doha draw has been released, Djokovic and Alcaraz ended up in the same half of the draw? fancy that lol!, even with Sinner out
I have done an draw to the final for Alcaraz,
R1 Cilic
R2 Zhang
QF Dimitrov

[MargaretMcAleer]

[MargaretMcAleer]

Love the way Fonseca spreads the court with his bhand, he has 2 mini breaks in the TB, 4 bhand winner now.
Leading 6-1 in the 1st set TB
Fonseca 6-3 to serve
Fonseca 1st set 76(3)
A really good match so far between these 2 players, Djere playing well with depth and absorbing the power of Fonseca
In the TB Fonseca went up a couple of gears, have I mentioned I love this kid
I went for a run and came back to see that Djere had won the 2nd set 75
Going to a 3rd set, Fonseca by now is used to winning of late in 3 set matches

Fonseca had to close this in 2. Failed to serve for the match, then had MP on Djere's serve, they played a point, he went long on BH I think. Then he got broken again and Djere served it out ti win 2nd set. Fonseca so close to win in 2, but now he needs to find energy for another hour of tennis.

Don,
Thanks I needed to get some fresh air as my brain was about to shut down,
Lets see if he can win in 3 sets again

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Oh the physio out on the court for Fonseca, hope he will be okay, he has had a couple of tough matches against seasoned players,
Actually I would not mind a massage myself running up hills takes a lot out of you

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Broke to love from Fonseca leads 3-1 3rd set has the tables turned once again?

 

[mrzz]

Lost the first two sets (I was playing myself), following the third. Fonseca woke up after the medical time out.

 

[don_fabio]

I think Fonseca got this now, momentum on his side.

Don,
Fonseca hasnt been used to playing these 3 set matches against seasoned pros, in saying that, what great experience for him going forward in his career

 

[mrzz]

Double break up. Serving for the final.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

There is that world class FH from Fonseca

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Yes
Fonseca wins 76(3) 57 61 to make his first ATP final in a match that went for 2 hrs and 30 mins
