At only 19-years-old, the impact of Joao Fonseca is ever-present on the pro circuit.

The Brazilian earned his best result at a Masters event last week when he reached the fourth round of Indian Wells, taking down seeds Karen Khachanov and Tommy Paul to get there.

Despite narrowly falling to eventual champion Jannik Sinner in two close tiebreaks, Fonseca revealed on this week’s episode of The Sit-Down podcast that he’s “working very hard to be on the same level” as Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz – the world’s top two.

“It’s where I want to be and it’s my goal. Hopefully, in some years I can play finals against those guys,” the world No.39 shared.
