Overview
- Fonseca defeated compatriot Thiago Monteiro 7-6 (1), 6-1 to reach the round of 16 in singles and will face Peru’s Ignacio Buse next.
- Pairing with Marcelo Melo, Fonseca won his doubles opener 6-4, 6-4 against Andrea Pellegrino and Burruchaga to move into the quarterfinals versus Máximo González and Andrés Molteni.
- A last‑minute withdrawal by Alexandre Müller prompted a doubles opponent change before Fonseca and Melo’s match, which proceeded against the hastily formed Pellegrino/Burruchaga team.
- With 16-year-old Guto Miguel losing his ATP 500 main‑draw debut to Vilius Gaubas, Fonseca is now the only Brazilian remaining in the singles draw.
- The tournament features no top‑10 players for the first time after withdrawals by Lorenzo Musetti (muscle injury) and Gael Monfils (illness), and Fonseca entered the week ranked No. 38 with a deep run offering significant points at this ATP 500.
