Son: "Jódar has surprised me a lot, he is going to be a spectacular player"

Arthur Fils chatted with Teledeporte and Movistar+ after his victory over Rafael Jódar at the Barcelona Open 2026 and made it clear what he felt facing the Spaniard. "He had a spectacular first set. I'm used to dominating with my forehand and during a stretch of the match, I felt unable to do so; he countered my shots perfectly. I told him at the net that he must be very proud; he had a great tournament and is very young. He's going to be a spectacular player," he concluded.
