French Open 2025: Brazilian teen João Fonseca beats Hubert Hurkacz in Roland-Garros debut
PARIS — João Fonseca is making a habit of drawing big crowds at tennis tournaments — and of beating seeded opponents in his Grand Slam debuts.
The 18-year-old from Brazil delighted a loud and overflowing group of spectators at 1,500-capacity Court 7 on Tuesday and won the first French Open match of his nascent career, beating 30th-seeded Hubert Hurkacz 6-2, 6-4, 6-2.
