Why João Fonseca’s forehand is already one of the most dangerous in tennis 👀🎾
It’s not just because he hits hard.
What makes Fonseca’s forehand so special is how much he can create from it without looking like he’s forcing the shot.
Here are a few things that stand out:
🎾 1. Huge racket-head speed
He accelerates the racket incredibly fast through contact, which gives him heavy pace AND spin.
🎾 2. The lag happens naturally
Watch his racket hand. He doesn’t try to “create lag.” His body rotation and arm acceleration allow the racket to fall behind naturally before exploding forward.
🎾 3. Incredible footwork
He consistently creates enough room to let the racket travel freely. That gives him a much bigger swing path and allows him to attack the ball instead of getting jammed.
🎾 4. Massive body rotation
His hips and torso are heavily involved. He’s not just swinging with his arm — he’s using the ground, legs and rotation to build speed.
🎾 5. He can change the shape of the shot
Heavy topspin, flatter acceleration, high contact, inside-out… he can manipulate the same basic forehand depending on the situation.
And THIS is the part I love most:
His forehand doesn’t look complicated.
It’s explosive, but it’s also incredibly athletic and fluid.
A lot of players try to copy the positions of great forehands.
But the real lesson is understanding what creates those positions.
Don’t copy Fonseca’s forehand.

Topspin : if the ball is dropping and you’re behind the baseline, you should brush up and lift.
Flat: if you’re stepping inside the baseline and the ball is around shoulder height, you should drive through.
You have to learn those different swing paths in order for you to get to the next level!
