Rafael Jódar continues to grow by leaps and bounds. After his impressive performance in Australia, the player from Madrid returned home, recharged his batteries, and decided to take a plane to compete in tournaments in the United States, his second home after his time at the University of Virginia. At the ATP Dallas 2026, Rafa adds another achievement to his collection: reaching the main draw of an ATP event coming from the qualifying rounds. He achieved this by displaying his composure in crucial moments, defeating Murphy Cassone with a double 7-6. Without knowing his opponent yet, Jódar will battle for his first ATP-level victory (excluding Grand Slams) next Monday or Tuesday.
