Rafa Jodar defeated Alex de Minaur 6-3, 6-1 in Madrid to secure the first top-10 win of his career.
The 19-year-old controlled the match from the start and closed it out in straight sets, continuing a strong run of form. He recently won the title in Marrakech, reached the semifinals in Barcelona, and has now won 10 of his last 11 matches.
After the match, Jodar spoke about what the moment meant to him, especially playing at home.
“Yeah, it was crazy, you know, crazy feelings. I’m super happy to get my second win here in Madrid, in my home tournament where I used to come when I was a kid. I used to watch all these top players in the stands. Now being able to play here on the center court means a lot to me.”
With his current form and results, Jodar is building momentum and showing signs of becoming a key figure in Spanish tennis.
