Rafael Jódar was the protagonist at the 2026 Mutua Madrid Open not only for his victory over De Jong but also for his dedication to Jude Bellingham and the way he celebrated the win, the same way the Englishman celebrates goals. When asked in the press conference later, he stated that Jude is his favorite player and also revealed on Cadena Cope that he met him after winning the US Open Junior as he was invited to the Bernabéu and got to meet the players, receiving a jersey from Jude himself. "I didn't know he was on the court. I saw him at the beginning of the second set and thought about celebrating in his style if I won," he commented.
