Agassi – About Fonseek: “I am not eager to see his takeoff”

The winner of eight tournaments of the Great Slam series and the Olympic champion Andre Agassi In his recent broadcast, Tennis Channel spoke about the experience that he has to go through this summer.

The legendary American tennis will become a captain of the world team for the eighth draw of the Lever Cup. Las Vegas guy will change his longtime friend John Makinro.

Although not all participants have been announced, it is already clear that the participation of the young Brazilian Joau Fonseca will become one of the main events of the future draw. He makes his debut as part of the national team, and Agassi does not hide admiration with such replenishment.

“He (Fonseca) caught my attention a few months ago. Watching his game is incredible: with what ease he is so powerfully beating on both sides as he moves in the court, how much he is athletic in the game.

He is a tall guy, something like Sinner in height – I could not believe when I first saw him live. And it is still difficult to understand how he is able to generate such force in blows while not losing balance. This is what we also watched in the first years in Alcaras – to look at him in the action almost as incredible. I am not eager to see his take.

I hope he will cope with the pressure that already starts to press on him, with the expectations that are formed around him. I really believe in him – he seems extremely professional and seems to have more maturity than his age. ”
