Both Eala and Fonseca are out, thank goodness 🙏
Fonseca looks like tommy paul with the short cut.
fonseca has lost to this guy before but fonseca is so overrated.. he's lost so many first round and second round matches it's sad at this point
I like Spizzirri's variety. So tired of the all-baseline matches.
Spizzirri o Walter junior? 😅
Fonseca ta claramente cansado e sem ritmo de jogo… jaja melhora! So nao lesionar! Que venha a temporada de saibro da america latina!!
Just a request into the void: can we perhaps feature both players in the thumbnails instead of always showing the winner? It would be nice to be able to watch these spoiler free.
zheng, basavareddy and spizziri all advancing at AO, college tennis is so back
USA USA USA
Once that back messed up, the movement goes out the window. Fonseca will be back.
Having read most of the comments–wow, people really get that much joy from ridicule! At the risk of evisceration, how pathetic does someone's life have to be that they need to feel smug by mocking a well mannered 19 yr old having a bad day? I'm not Brazilian, but I do enjoy Fonseca's game, and no amount of hyperbole from his fans justifies these responses.
There’s no way that not even a single employee at AO has seen these comments about the thumbnails and escalated this. Can’t be. Right??
fonseca needs to develop his serve and BH still a rly amazing player! understand he's injured tho
What happened 3:30?
Spizziri made Fonseca to look a tennis player ranked 300 plus.
7:48 – that look .. Spizzirri could be on the rise
Los brasileños están con Fonseca como los argentinos están con Colapinto.
Ninguno jamás ganarán nada.
Fonseca is a good young player, but he has been over hyped too much too soon
To point this out is not being a hater.
❤❤❤❤🎉
Fonseca lost. Why. Oh. Why.
it pisses me off how we only see Fonseca's Highlights knowing he got slapped
This Fonseca is the biggest overhype of tennis history.
until fonseca does not getting a stronger better placed back hand shot he wont win nothing big…this american attacked his back hand then he knew shot will come back less speed and every time went up to the net and finished the point….
Heard they’re not letting NCAA athletes earn the AP money. Sorry, can someone explain why not? Cause it’s totally deserved.
Why can’t yall just give the American any credit 😭- at the end of the day, fonsecca wasn’t playing his best tennis, and spizzirri played great!
Stop the hype on FakeSeca!!
GoatSeca again with a million unforced errors… any pro player can win against this arrogant boy just by keeping the ball in play until he makes the next unforced… so easy for a pro to win against this 😂
The matchpoint is symptomatic of the Goat’s game. Heavy and almost fat, slow on the court, horrible footwork and wrong technique on that last backhand and 36th unforced error of the game. I wonder why there is so much hype for just an average player. I know he is only 18, but he urgently needs a coach to learn basics, starting with physical condition!!! What was he doing during December? Can’t he go for a few runs at the beach to lose fat?
Que desagradable es la afición Brasileña, lo siento por Fonseca pero por su culpa siempre quiero que pierdan
Por que mostrar a foto em destaque do vencedor?
Que torcida chata!!
Lots of hype for this guy im his first couple of years as a pro but so far his best at a GS is a 3rd round exit… 🙄
That idiot Fonseca lost with that chiavica of Spizzirri, my god 🤦♂️ shit Brazil, fucking anamals
Se questo Fonseca è un fenomeno io in 30anni di tennis non ci ho capito un cazzo
has i said two years ago… this guy has no the consistency of the greats… he has just power…just power is not enough to win slams and be nº1…
So Spizzirri is like De Minaur in that he generally uses others pace but he does it better than De Minaur because his body frame is bigger/stronger…but when Sinner gave Spizzirri less pace and something he had to really work for most of he match he couldn’t deliver.
I seeeeee!!!
João Fonseca will still become world number one.
