**Spanish tennis** continues to shine at the highest level, with its peak becoming more pronounced at **Roland Garros**, the quintessential tournament where our players shine in their own light. This is evidenced by a staggering fact regarding the presence of Spanish players in the quarterfinals. Since 1997, when **Sergi Bruguera** achieved it, there has been at least one Spanish player in every edition. In 2003, there were even four Spanish players among the tournament's top 8. With the qualification of **Rafael Jódar** in this edition, 30 years of this remarkable streak are now fulfilled. Incredible.
