It wasn't to be for Rafa Jódar. Starting from the qualifying rounds and after not dropping a set in six matches, this time the Madrid native had to concede in the final of the Challenger 125 de Canberra against Alexander Blockx who was better (6-4, 6-4). The Spaniard, who will enter the top 150 this week, saw his chance of claiming his fourth title in this category slip away, having won the three previous ones he had competed in. On the other hand, a great performance from the Belgian player who came with a lot of confidence after being the runner-up in the Next Gen Finals a few weeks ago. Despite the defeat, a great way to start the season for Rafa, as we will see him in the qualifying rounds of the Australian Open.
