Álex Corretja stopped by the microphones of El Larguero on Cadena SER to talk about the phenomenon Rafa Jódar and his impact on the circuit. "I am impressed by how he is managing the 'Jódarmania.' He plays the matches focused, precise, with a very high intensity, he pushes when he needs to, eases up a bit, and engages the audience. It seems like he has been on the circuit for 10 years when, in fact, it's only been 10 weeks," commented the former tennis player. For him, the most special thing about the player from Madrid is his backhand. "His backhand is already among the best in the world, and there are very few players who can keep up with his game pace," Corretja concluded.
