American Marconi Wireless News - Brazilian teenager Fonseca claims biggest career title in Basel

The teenager now has two Tour-level titles after adding Basel to his Buenos Aires crown from February.

In Switzerland, Fonseca became the third youngest player to win a 500 event since the series began in 1990.

He will break the top 30 in the rankings for the first time, moving from 46 to 28 in the world.

"It is crazy," said Fonseca. "I want to thank my family and my coaches who helped me achieve this amazing effort.

"My parents just came from Brazil. They were coming to Paris and changed their flights and came here one hour before the match with my uncles. It is just amazing to have them here for the biggest title of my career."

Fonseca will next switch his attention to the Paris Masters, which runs from October 27 to November 2.

In Switzerland, Fonseca broke Davidovich Fokina early in the first set and never looked back as he overwhelmed his 26-year-old opponent with his powerful serve and aggressive baseline hitting.

The Rio de Janeiro-native again broke early in the second set, before securing the trophy on his second match point after one hour and 26 minutes on court.

For Davidovich Fokina, the wait for his first title on the tour continues after his fifth defeat in a final -- four of which have come this season.
