This is how Vit Kopriva plays, next opponent of Jódar in the Madrid Open

Vit Kopriva will be the next opponent of Rafael Jódar in the Mutua Madrid Open 2026 and many fans are unfamiliar with the Czech player. It would be wise not to underestimate the danger of an experienced and very intelligent player on court, whose best shot is his backhand. Kopriva has built his rise and consolidation in the top 100 through continuous improvement, alternating between the Challenger circuit and an increasingly successful presence in ATP tournaments.

At 28 years old, this player advised by Jiri Novak has recently defeated Zhang, Rublev, and Rinderknech, marking his best performance in a Masters 1000 event. Currently ranked 66th in the world, his highest ranking was 60th, achieved in March of this year. He has only won two matches in Grand Slam tournaments and holds 8 Challenger titles. Kopriva is a solid baseline player with a stellar backhand and a forehand that may be less dangerous but has been effective for him in the altitude of Madrid.
