“It was difficult to play here... Windy. I think it’s the biggest court I’ve played on so far. Very excited with the way I played today. Happy with how I fought. A break down in the third, things weren’t very good for me. I kept confusing on my game. I’m very happy. I just love playing with the crowd. The support from them is very nice. It’s an honor seeing kids inspired by me. Being here with them makes me more excited to play," Joao Fonseca said after beating Fearnley.
