Djokovic says João Fonseca has a good level of balance, professionalism, & devotion, similar to Carlos Alcaraz

“João Fonseca came in earlier today, very excited to have the opportunity to meet you today. Do you remember what it was like to be 18 and swing that freely? Can you give us your thoughts on him.”

Novak: “A little bit. It comes in flashes, but yeah, it does feel great, you know, when you're that young and playing in a high level, not much to lose, a lot to gain. Of course attention from the people, support, you know, builds up and it all adds to a great evolution of the player and the personality eventually will come to the point where it's going to convert into pressure and expectations from himself, from the others, and so forth. He seems to be handling it all very well. I mean, I don't know him personally so well, but from what I have seen on the court, not only the way he plays but the way he behaves, and people around him, seems like there is a very good level of balance and professionalism and devotion, like what we have seen for the last couple years with Alcaraz. He has the potential to be really a superstar of this game. No doubt about it. Coming from Brazil also, one of the biggest countries in the world, where they love tennis, love sports, very passionate people. It would be amazing for also our sport to have a Brazilian superstar, first really big superstar since Gustavo ‘Guga’ Kuerten, that was an idol for so many kids, incredible guy and big champion. Yeah, I wish him all the best.”
