Tristan Schoolkate vs Joao Fonseca prediction
Tristan Schoolkate won his first two matches in Los Cabos but was no match for Denis Shapovalov in their quarter-final, losing 6-3 6-2 as the Canadian went on to win the tournament. Schoolkate did bounce back in the qualifying stage of this event, beating Govind Nanda 6-3 6-0. He is ranked 103 in the world.
Joao Fonseca will be competing in his first match since reaching the third-round of Wimbledon on his SW19 debut. The Brazilian teenager is now up to 49 in the world and already won his maiden title on the ATP Tour in Buenos Aires earlier this season. He also enjoyed success on the Challenger Tour earlier in the year, picking up two titles on hard court in Canberra and Pheonix. Fonseca currently holds an impressive 17-3 win-loss record on the surface in 2025.
Fonseca’s aggressive game should be too much for Schoolkate and we expect the 18-year-old to cruise to a comfortable victory.
