American Brandon Nakashima was eliminated by compatriot Marcos Giron and joined the list of those affected by the “zica” that João Fonseca fans have been causing on the circuit. With the result, the Brazilian remains close to securing the best position of his career.
Now, only Britain’s Cameron Norrie can still overtake him. To do this, you need to be champion of the ATP 250 in Metz, France. Otherwise, Fonseca will end 2025 within the Top 24 of the world rankings.
In the so-called “zica table”, other direct competitors also fell, such as the Italian Luciano Darderi, the main threat in the dispute for points at the end of the year, was eliminated and left the path even clearer for the Brazilian.
Even in the worst case scenario, he already secured 25th place, an impressive mark for the Rio native’s first full year as a professional.
