The campaign to the quarterfinals at Roland Garros and the combination of results from rivals will see João Fonseca move up at least four positions in the world rankings that will be released next Monday (8). Today he is 30th.
The real-time sum of the ATP (Association of Professional Tennis Players) scores shows that the Rio tennis player has provisionally risen five positions, reaching 25th place. To date, the 19-year-old Brazilian’s best record is 24th place (in November 2025).
To win even five, not four houses, Fonseca needs to hope that no Italian Matteo – Berrettini or Arnaldi – reaches the final of the French Grand Slam. The two face each other this Wednesday (3) in the quarterfinals.
In addition to reaching the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam for the first time, João had to face stumbling blocks from rivals such as the Americans Frances Tiafoe and Tommy Paul, the British Cameron Norrie and the Argentines Francisco Cerúndolo and Tomás Martín Etcheverry.
Within the top 10, the main change will be the fall of Novak Djokovic, eliminated by Fonseca in the third round of clay in Paris. The Serbian will appear in seventh place. Canadian Félix Auger-Aliassime will gain two positions and be the new fourth place.
Italian Jannik Sinner, who fell in the second round at Roland Garros, and Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, who did not play due to injury, will remain first and second, respectively.
Awards
For reaching the quarter-finals, Fonseca will receive a prize of 470 thousand euros (just over R$2.77 million). To date, the Rio native has accumulated, in court prizes alone, more than US$3.33 million (equivalent today to more than R$16.7 million).
