Joao Fonseca is seeded 28th for the outdoor hard court Australian Open. Round one sees the 19-year-old face unseeded Eliot Spizzirri who is making his debut in the main draw of this Grand Slam. Will it be a winning one? Read our match prediction below.
Unseeded opposition will be faced in round two, either Luca Nardi or qualifier Yibing Wu.
Fonseca made his debut here last year and was beaten in round two. He reached at least the second round in all four of 2025's Grand Slam tournaments. Two titles were won by him last year, one on clay, the most recent being on an indoor hard court in Basel.
The teenager is 30th in the live rankings. This is his first tournament since the Paris Masters last November.
Eliot Spizzirri lost in the second qualifying round of this Grand Slam last year but didn't need to go through the qualifying rounds this year. His only previous Grand Slam main draw appearances came at the US Open making it to round two in 2025.
The 24-year-old won a couple of Challenger Tour events last year, both on hard courts.
This year has seen him win four of his six matches, two of them in qualifiers and is 89th in the live rankings.
We tip Fonseca to win.
