Fonseca is eager to gain more experiences at the top level as he prepares for his first full season as a professional. He is projected to make his Top 100 debut as of now, though that could change with next week’s tournament results across all levels factoring into the new rankings published on January 27.
“It’s my dream to play the tour, like the real tour where the Top 50 players play. The Masters, the ATP 500s, the 250s. I want to live playing this,” he said. “I’m excited to join the Top 100, play the big tournaments, get my place in this environment, and keep working to go bigger, to have more and more ranking.
“For me, for myself, for my opinion, the sky’s the limit. You need to work more and more to reach your dream, which is become No. 1.”
Sonego plays for a fourth-round berth against Fabian Marozsan. The Hungarian also prevailed over five sets, rallying past 17th seed Frances Tiafoe from two sets to one down.
