Holder Fonseca to skip NextGen event
Defending champion Joao Fonseca has withdrawn from next month;s ATP’s NextGen Finals in Saudi, citing injury.
The teenaged Brazilian ranked 24th, won the title at the event a year ago with his defeat of Learner Tien at the four-day event which wraps up just before Christmas.
Fonseca’s status for a lucrative exhibition event in Miami on December 8 remains uncertain; he is due for a payday with a match against Carlos Alcaraz at the hit-and-giggle also featuring Jessica Pegula and Amanda Anisimova.
