The Roland Garros that Rafa Jódar is having is simply historic. The Madrilenian has reached the quarterfinals of the Parisian Grand Slam in his first participation, coming back to defeat Pablo Carreño 4-6, 4-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2. But the milestone achieved by the Madrilenian has only been accomplished previously by Rafa Nadal in 2005 and Juan Carlos Ferrero in 2000.
