João Fonseca gears up for US Open with Montreal Masters entry
Brazilian tennis player João Fonseca returned to competition on Sunday, 2 August, to begin his final hard‑court preparation for the US Open. He will play the Masters 1000 event in Montreal on 13 August, followed by the Cincinnati Masters, entering the Montreal draw as the 24th seed, which reflects his ATP ranking of 27.
Fonseca finished the 2026 clay season with 810 points, highlighted by a quarter‑final appearance at Roland Garros that earned him 400 points – nearly half of his clay‑court total. Earlier in the year he beat Andrey Rublev at the US Open and is a former US Open junior champion. The Montreal field is missing top players such as Jannik Sinner, Jack Draper, Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic, leaving Alexander Zverev as the top seed.
