Fun stat
Averaged 7.1 forehand winners per set at Challenger level — a tracking-era record for a teenager.
Stat Man's Verdict
Stat Man's take: the forehand already lives in the top five and the rest of the game is sprinting to catch up. Fonseca is the prospect our Challenger-level tracking flagged 18 months ago, and his PULSE now reads like a rocket telemetry chart. Brazil hasn't buzzed like this since Guga's headband.
