Além disso, João Fonseca se tornou no mais jovem em toda a carreira do sérvio a vencê-lo em um Grand Slam. Até então, o recorde era do ex-tenista espanhol, Rafael Nadal, que havia vencido aos 20 anos e quatro dias de vida. João alcançou a marca aos 19 anos e 281 dias de idade. Em 2023, o também espanhol, Carlos Alcaraz, derrotou Djoko aos 20 anos e 72 dias.
