Joao Fonseca Joins Nadal, Alcaraz As Teen ATP 500 Champ In Basel

At 19 years, two months, Fonseca beat Davidovich Fokina 6-3, 6-4 to claim Basel and his first ATP 500 crown, becoming the fourth-youngest ATP 500 champion since 2000—joining Nadal and Alcaraz. He saved 3/4 break points, broke three times, and fired 29 winners. The new top-30 entrant owns two titles this season; next: push toward Turin Finals.
