LONDON (Reuters) -Brazil's Joao Fonseca displayed an ice-cool temperament to overcome a partisan crowd and a couple of rocky moments in his confident 6-4 6-1 7-6(5) win over Briton Jacob Fearnley as temperatures exceeded 30 degrees Celsius at Wimbledon on Monday.

"In summer, Rio is very, very hot. I'm more used (to it) than European people," the 18-year-old said.
