ANDREEVA, FONSECA TO ‘SEND SHOCKWAVES’ IN WTA, ATP TOUR IN 2025: MACCI

Expect Andreeva and Fonsaca to “send shockwaves” in the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) and the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Tour.

Furthermore, coach Rick Macci is convinced that the two youngsters will ramp up their progress this year by beating some of the top players.

Moreover, the former coach of Serena Williams noted the upside of the two players based on their stints at the recent Australian Open.

“The two players that will send SEISMIC SHOCK WAVES thru the WTA and ATP in 2025 are Andreeva and Fonseca,” Macci wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

He noted that Andreeva could “dart into the top five,” while Fonseca is capable of taking “many scalps” of the top 30 men’s players.

MACCI BELIEVES LADY RUSSIAN TEENER TO PLAY IN MORE GRAND SLAMS

Macci believes Andreeva will play in more Grand Slams.

This after her fourth-round appearance at last month’s Australia Open.

Moreover, the 17-year-old Russian fell to world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka in Melbourne but her upside remains promising.

Furthermore, Andreeva started as a 16-year-old in 2023 and is currently in the top 20 at No.15.

She is tipped to have a deep run at the French Open in May, where she was a semifinalist last year.

That was Andreeva’s highest place at a Grand Slam so far.

She fell short against Italian Jasmine Paolini.

The Russian was included in SportsMania’s top 10 women’s tennis players under 30 this year.

FONSECA TO FURTHER IMPROVE FROM TOP 100 RANKING

Fonseca is expected to rise after he barged into the top 100 due to his amazing run in Melbourne.

Furthermore, the 18-year-old Brazilian zoomed 552 spots from No.651 to No.99.

Moreover, Fonseca beat a top 10 player in Andrey Rublev at the Australian Open.

He became the youngest Brazilian since Cassio Motta made the top 100 as a 19-year-old in 1979.

Expect Fonseca, like Andreeva, to make heads turn at Roland Garros.
