In a historic moment for Brazilian tennis, 18-year-old Joao Fonseca became the youngest from his country to win an ATP tournament. He achieved this feat by defeating Argentina's Francisco Cerundolo in straight sets at the Argentina Open on Sunday.

Fonseca's triumph in Buenos Aires follows his victory at the ATP Next Gen Finals in December and an impressive win against ninth seed Andrey Rublev at the Australian Open last month, establishing him as one of the sport's most thrilling young talents.

The young athlete expressed his joy, stating his dream is to become world number one. His determination was evident as he overcame multiple seasoned players in Argentina. Cerundolo, who had an impressive run himself, was no match for Fonseca's skill and ambition.
