Weekend Tennis Roundup

 

Brazilian Joao Fonseca came out on top at the  Next Gen ATP finals. Full report plus all the half-naked vacation photos that are fit to post BELOW.


Eighteen-year-old Brazilian Joao Fonseca completed a perfect week at the Next Gen ATP Finals with a 2-4, 4-3(8), 4-0, 4-2 victory over American Learner Tien on Sunday, becoming the second-youngest champion in the seven-year history of the competition.


With Rafael Nadal watching on from the stands, eighth-seeded Fonseca bounced back from losing the first set to defeat Tien for the second time in five matches in Jeddah, and finish the eight-man competition for the world's best 20-and-under players at 5-0.


Although it's unfortunate that Rafa's spotless reputation had to be sullied by Saudi blood money, it was cute to see him with the #NextGen boys in Jeddah

With Van Assche


An earlier meeting! 


Give it up for Luca Van Assche









Although I wish the event featured normal matches instead of the gimmicky "to 4" format, it has largely predicted which players will rise to the top. And if nothing else, it's a fun week of photo ops that look like they could have been taken on the set of a softcore porn!
