Watching his game habits and how he prepares for games has been really helpful for my development. The compliments he has received from Alcaraz recently have also given me more confidence in myself."
Joao Fonseca has never faced Alcaraz in his career. On December 8, they will play an exhibition match in the framework of the tennis event in Miami (USA), alongside two female colleagues Emma Raducanu and Amanda Anisimova.
