Five Spaniards Make Their Debut Today in the Qualifying Rounds of the Australian Open: Jódar, Landaluce
Five Spaniards will make their debut in the qualifying rounds of the 2026 Australian Open in the early hours of this morning. The first round of the 'qualy' is split over two days after beginning this Monday. Rafael Jódar, Martín Landaluce, Pablo Llamas, Leyre Romero Górmaz, and Marina Bassols will start their journey in pursuit of a ticket to the first Grand Slam of the year. They will all aim to follow in the footsteps of Roberto Carballés, Dani Mérida, and Guiomar Maristany, who are already in the second round following today's victories.
This is Rafael Jódar's draw in the preliminary phase of the Australian Open.

He will debut against Li Tu and then face the winner of the match between Billy Harris and Chris Rodesch.
His last potential opponent would be one of Echargui, Van Assche, Tabur, or Glinka if they advance.
