It must be acknowledged. Rafael Jódar has been fortunate with his path at Roland Garros 2026. It is clear that in a Grand Slam, there are no easy matches, especially for a still inexperienced player in these fields, like the Madrid native. However, being able to reach the quarterfinals without facing not only a seed but even one of the top 40 players in the world is as rare as it is desirable.

After defeating Kovacevic (67) and Duckworth (82), he now awaits Alex Michelsen (42) in the third round, who holds the highest ranking among the players who could hinder the path to the quarterfinals for the player from Leganés. If he beats the American, he would then face in the round of 16 the winner of the match between Pablo Carreño (89) and Thiago Tirante (60). In the quarterfinals, Alexander Zverev would be the logical opponent, although Khachanov will also vie for it, with De Jong and Halys having fewer chances.

This news is an automatic translation. You can read the original news, Jódar no se enfrentaría a un top-40 del mundo hasta cuartos de final de Roland Garros
