Joao Fonseca to skip the Asian swing as he issues statement on ‘very challenging’ 2026

Joao Fonseca has confirmed he is taking a brief break from tennis after playing for Brazil at the Davis Cup.

Fonseca won his singles clash against Switzerland's Dominic Stricker, helping his nation claim a 3-1 victory in the World Group 1 tie. But the ATP superstar has since decided to pull out of the upcoming Asian swing in the men's tennis calendar.

The decision comes amid a challenging season for the 20-year-old, who has been battling with various injuries throughout 2026. He recently withdrew from the US Open, citing an injury to his abdomen. Fonseca has now shared an update on his campaign on social media.
