Jódar equals Alcaraz and Nadal in a spectacular statistic
Rafael Jódar continues to write his own story with every victory at the Mutua Madrid Open 2026. The first quarterfinals of Masters 1000 are always immensely special, even more so when you reach the level of two Spanish tennis legends in various statistics by doing so. The truth is that Rafa is already the third Spanish in history to reach the quarterfinals of Masters 1000 as a teenager, before turning 20; the only ones to achieve this were Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz, a select list to which the Spaniard now joins. Quite an achievement.
A Spanish (prodigy) may conceal another.
📊 They are Spanish and have qualified for the quarterfinals of a Masters 1000 before turning 20 in the 21st century:
