Mentioned in this video
Joao Fonseca may have made a major quarter-final at the French Open and defeated Novak Djokovic but he isn't the only next gen star on the block - in fact he is the fourth highest ranked.
Not only was he beaten by fellow next gen star Jakub Mensik in Paris he has also been surpassed in achievements with Mensik's highest ranking far above that of Fonseca and Mensik has a Master's 1000 title and victory over Djokovic in that final. Elsewhere Jodar made his first quarterfinal on his 2nd grand slam appearance and Learner Tien made a quarterfinal last year.
Chris and Kim ask the question WHY is Fonseca so hyped and why did he get nominated for a Laureus award when in the same sport there are other players achieving more in the same generation.
