THRILLING Joao Fonseca vs Learner Tien Battle | Miami 2025 Highlights

Joao fonseca is a star in the making. He's going to #1 in the near future and some slams too. Go on brother

With carlos and sinner we see a very high quality tennis and a very healthy rivalry but with these 2 it feels a battle more than a rivalry and with some high quality tennis there was also high tension and high intensity just amazing

This match was CRAZY!!! A thriller, battle and a drama. Even Joao almost checked out and was not feeling well, to then come back to win. Wow! Two of the next upcoming greats also.

Amazing to see such incredible young players. Fonseca has everything to become our new ‘Guga’!

So stoked that tennis skipped over Zverev and Tsitsipas without those goons winning majors.

Fonseca will be number 1 in the world

The fact that Tien is American and Fonseca owns the crowd tells you just how much hype there is around this young star

Both played so well.

Pelo tamanho de nosso país e pela grandeza de seu povo merecemos alguém na elite do Tênis mundial. Bem vindo Fonseca.

Fonseca!

Both have bright futures ahead and will face each other many times.
Vamo João!

Sinner vs Alcaraz; Fonsec vs Tien. I miss the Big 3 but promising future indeed.

I actually like Fonseca but I hope he lose as soon as possible, his brazilian are obnoxious, cheering for Tien double fault. Nothing personal I hope Fonseca never win anything important like master 1000 or a GS

Another good young player, who grunts at wrong time, doing hindrance.👎🏻

Honestly it hasn’t been a great match, Very good level for teenagers in a atp1000, but still the both of them need quite a lot to be considered top class players. Fonseca has massive forehand and serve, but his accuracy and his backhand still very shaky, very poor footwork which will probably be his main weakness further on due also to his body shape (big upper body mass and long thin legs). Tien is just a defensive baseliner extremely accurate and tactically smart, these are weapons that come handy when playing clutch points. Unfortunately his shots are not very powerful on average on both wings nor a huge service but functional enough with its angles. Both will have to mature mentally of course and this last factor will mainly determine what kind of players they will turn into. I understand the fans’ hype (above all from the South American friends) but overall objectively we haven’t seen anything unseen so far from averaged young talents. They thought Zverev would have been the new Djokovic when he started and now at almost 30 yrs old we’re talking about the best player that has never won a GS.

Ultra Juniors. I feel dizzy and ready to vomit

Uau, muito lindo
Saudações da Amazônia no Brasil 🇧🇷 👍

João Fonseca 🇧🇷

O mlk é brabo demaaaaaaaaaais!

Fonseca brings a breath of fresh air to the “traditional” behavior expected of a tennis player, yet always respectfully. What is any sport without rollercoaster emotions, cheering crowds and breathtaking shots? His charisma and talent are second to none. May God keep him healthy so we can all witness the development of a generational great player.

Reminds me of how I used to play when I was 18. 🤣

Beautiful match! Bright future awaiting for both players 😊

I wouldn't watch the Miami open if you paid me. A city full of immigrants who cheer on a Brazilian over an American, yet they enjoy all the benefits America offers them. I'm so done with tennis .

What is with the crowd cheering double faults???

Tien and João are great players, still very young, which impresses me, besides their talent and what makes the difference, is the mental strength and focus of the Brazilian, a great future for both of them.

Great players Both Will be Soon Top Ten .

it’s sad that they had to meet so early on but they never disappoint

return just above net.
smk.

I didn't have a preference on who won but nonetheless I think it's pathetic that many in the crowd were cheering unforced errors from Tien. That's totally classless!

Fonseca reminds me so much of Roger, maybe because they look alike lol. But seriously his demeanor and forehand remind me of Roger. Also Learner is such a competitor, although he lost I always felt like he could come back in match. It was really close

We'll be seeing this battle for years to come

Love them both.

Learner somehow played lower levels in the following sets. Not sure why because he def have it to beat Fonseca. But the fans seems to be all rooting for Joao here.

This match was much better and exciting than the Indian Wells finals 2025!😊

I know Miami is Miami, but it's remarkable how clearly the crowd was on the side of the Brazilian rather than the American!

I think Tien has to much spin on his FH. He must improve his flat FH

GOAT

Tien tennis put me to sleep

Cant see anything special in Tien... Mediocre serve, DeMon style game. Fonseca is a whole different animal with his power, serve and accuracy

歓声がなかったらTienが勝っていた

Fonseca potential is huge once he matures as a tennis player.

this is tennis. not some wta 6-0 6-0 bullshit. these men right here deserve every penny they make and hopefully more. f wta trash women lol

ye but then one or two matches he is out

Fonseca and tien faced off in the juniors US open 2023 final
and had amazing matches from that point
they are another two counterparts for the new era and we'll certainly see what this "weak" era is made off...

It’s a little sad the American doesn’t have any crowd support in his home country. Miami isn’t really normal USA, but still, I felt bad for him. Great match in any case.

Foi um jogaço. Eles n deveriam se enfrentar na primeira rodada 😢

Cheering double fault of young player???? =No Class, No sensitivity
