João Fonseca ends 11‑year Brazilian drought with win over Tsitsipas

Brazilian 19‑year‑old João Fonseca, world No. 27, defeated former world No. 3 Stefanos Tsitsipas 7‑6(7‑3), 7‑5 in the second round of the National Bank Open (Masters 1000) in Montreal on 5 August 2026. The victory ended an 11‑year drought for Brazilian players at the Canadian Masters, the previous win having been by Thomas Bellucci in 2015. Fonseca’s win also marked his second career triumph over Tsitsipas, the first coming in a Davis Cup tie in September 2025. With the result he advanced to the third round, where he is scheduled to meet Norway’s Casper Ruud (world No. 14), who had beaten Juan Manuel Cerúndolo 6‑1, 6‑2 in his own second‑round match. The tournament, the National Bank Open presented by Rogers, runs in Montreal, Canada, from 2 to 13 August 2026 and is broadcast live on ESPN2 and Disney+ Premium.
