It was his last chance to compete before the Australian Open.</p><p class="bullet" data-v-232111b4="">The reason is the same as last week: discomfort in the lower back. At this Saturday's press conference (Adelaide time), the 19-year-old Brazilian, currently number 29 in the world, said he hopes to be 100% for the first slam of the season, which starts on Sunday the 18th, but he was not sure if he will be there.</p><p class="bullet" data-v-232111b4="">"I've been feeling better every day, but it's difficult to say that I'm 100%. I'm going to try my best to be 100% at the Australian Open, which is our main objective. The decision hasn't been made. We want to play and we think it will be possible, so we want to focus on recovery. Unfortunately, I couldn't play here, but I hope to come back stronger next year."</p><!----></div><script>!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s) {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function() {n.callMethod? n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)}; if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0'; n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0; t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script', 'https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js'); fbq('init', '291767061033177'); fbq('track', 'PageView', { content_name: 'João Fonseca desiste do ATP de Adelaide e é dúvida para o Australian Open', content_ids: [78498,12810,80789,82370,82487,15327,83877], is_closed: true, });</script>
