The rising star of Brazil 🇧🇷 joaoffonseca
Novak Djokovic was 289-1 all time when leading two sets to none. A 19-year-old from Brazil just made him 289-2 at Roland Garros. Fonseca was down 1-3 in the fifth set, facing break points, and closed it out anyway.
First teenager in history to beat Novak at a major. First player in 16 years to come back from two sets down against him. The longest match Djokovic has ever played at Roland Garros.
This is a photo I took on April 17, 2024, at the ATP Tiriac Open in Bucharest, when he was ranked No. 655 in the ATP rankings and competing as a wildcard.✨
