Rafael Jódar continues to surprise us. In January, the Spanish tennis player was competing in Challengers and the qualifying rounds of the Australian Open while being ranked beyond the top 100. Just over two months later, Jódar has already clinched his first ATP 250 title and is in the semifinals of the 2026 Barcelona ATP 500, which will at least boost him to 42nd place in the ATP rankings.

Not only that, but currently he is 22nd in the Race, and if he wins the tournament, he would be a seed at the Mutua Madrid Open next week. In fact, he would rise to 33rd globally, just 50 points behind Brandon Nakashima, with withdrawals from players like Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz potentially enabling this achievement.
