Indian Wells: Fonseca battles into 2nd round
The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|March 08, 2025
Joao Fonseca pulled a stern first-round test from Jacob Fearnley in Indian Wells to add a maiden Paribas Open win to his breakout 2025 season on Friday (IST).
The Brazilian prevailed 6-2, 1-6, 6-3 in a topsy-turvy battle against Britain's Fearnley. In windy conditions, the 18-year-old trailed 1-3 in the deciding set but then reeled off five straight games to earn his second ATP Masters 1000 match win and his first on a hard court, ATP reports.
With his two-hour victory in Indian Wells, Fonseca set a second-round clash with 13th seed Jack Draper.
