Sometimes a simple sentence already shows you what the protagonist is made of. Rafa Jódar faces his first full season as a professional in 2026, but it doesn't seem like just anything will bring him satisfaction. This morning, in his first tournament of the season, he made it to the final of the Challenger 125 in Canberra. What were his statements before facing Alexander Blockx tomorrow?

"I'm excited, really, but right now there's nothing to celebrate; the work isn't done yet. I need to rest and be ready for another great battle tomorrow. I need to have the maximum focus in this final," said the 19-year-old from Madrid, who will break into the top 130 if he wins the title.
