The young Brazilian tennis player João Fonseca begins his journey in the main draw of the ATP 500 in Halle this Tuesday, June 16, 2026, facing the German Yannick Hanfmann. The clash, valid for the opening round of the prestigious championship in Germany, is scheduled to take place at around 8 am in Brasília.
Arriving at the tournament after an elimination in the doubles qualifying phase, where he played alongside Daniel Altmaier, Fonseca is now preparing to face a local athlete. Hanfmann, who is Fonseca’s opponent, currently occupies 59th place in the ATP rankings, and this will be the first clash between the two professionals on the circuit.
This ATP 500 in Halle represents Fonseca’s first contact with grass courts in the current season. The event serves as a crucial warm-up and acclimatization stage for Wimbledon, the third Grand Slam of the year, which is scheduled to start on the 29th of this month. Before participating in the prestigious English tournament, the Brazilian athlete plans to compete in the ATP 250 in Eastbourne, which starts next Monday, the 22nd.
Fonseca arrives in Halle driven by a recent and remarkable campaign at Roland Garros, in which he demonstrated great potential and won over many fans. The talented 19-year-old from Rio, who had stood out on clay, is now looking to adapt his game to grass.
It is important to mention that João Fonseca has already been eliminated from the doubles at the ATP in Halle, but his main focus now turns to his debut in the singles group, scheduled for Tuesday.
