Fonseca needs Montreal semifinal to crack top 20 for first time
The Brazilian must reach the semifinals of the Montreal Masters 1000 to enter the world's top 20 for the first time in his career.
João Fonseca can enter the world’s top 20 for the first time if he reaches the semifinals of the Montreal Masters 1000.
The Rio de Janeiro native is the only Brazilian in the singles draw, according to TenisBrasil. He currently holds the 27th position in the world rankings, unchanged from the previous week.
The 22nd seed receives a bye into the second round, where he will face the winner of a match between two qualifiers. A deep run would be required for the 18-year-old to achieve a new career-high ranking. Reaching the semifinals would lift him into the top 20 for the first time.
