Fonseca, 18, achieved that feat Wednesday when he bested American Jenson Brooksby 6-4, 5-7, 6-2, 6-4.

Fonseca didn’t just rewrite some All England Club history with the victory. He also became the first Brazilian man to reach this stage of the grass Grand Slam since Thomaz Bellucci in 2010.
Fonseca prevailed against the 24-year-old Brooksby in a four-set match that lasted three hours and 14 minutes.
He’ll now face Chile’s Nicolás Jarry in the third round.
