Their first career meeting lands in the third round at Roland-Garros, with Joao Fonseca — the 19-year-old Brazilian who's spent the spring closing the gap to the top 30 — drawing Novak Djokovic on the surface where the Serb has built half his legend. The seeding gap says R3, but the generational framing is the hook: Djokovic chasing a deeper Paris run at 4, Fonseca getting his first crack at a 24-time major champion on clay under the lights of a packed Chatrier.
