João Fonseca’s path at Wimbledon could lead to a reunion with Novak Djokovic
João Fonseca’s route at Wimbledon has already been outlined. The draw for the keys for the third Grand Slam of the season, held this Friday (26), revealed the journey that the Brazilian tennis player will need to face in search of an unprecedented title. Among the biggest possible opponents, multi-champion Novak Djokovic stands out.
To ensure his classification as seed, João’s first match, in theory, promises to be more accessible. The young Brazilian tennis player will face the experienced Roberto Bautista Agut. Then you can meet the Dutchman Jesper de Jong or the Australian Rinky Hijikata, who will face each other in the opening round of the tournament.
