Rafael Jódar spoke with the El Partidazo de la Cadena Cope program about his feelings at the 2026 Australian Open, where he has advanced through the qualifying rounds. He assured feeling very good and arriving full of confidence, while also acknowledging feeling more comfortable on hard courts than on any other surface. He doesn't want to put pressure on himself in terms of results and is aware that he has plenty of room for improvement. However, the most fun part was when he was asked about his training with Carlos Alcaraz. "It was great, a very interesting training session, he is an excellent person. I think he was a bit tired after the exhibition in South Korea because we played a set and I was leading 5-4 when we finished," he pointed out.
