Rafa Jódar couldn't overcome Alexander Zverev in the quarterfinals of Roland Garros 2026. The Madrid native started strong but ended up surrendering to the German. Consequently, in a later interview with Eurosport, he self-criticized: "I didn't know how the conditions would be because I'd never played on the central court, but it has been a very good and beautiful experience. Zverev played a great match. At the beginning, I took advantage of my chances and got a break ahead, but I didn't play well on the key points of the first set, and he played them better than me. Now it's time to learn from my mistakes and do better next time."
