Casper Ruud said goodbye to the Mutua Madrid Open 2026 after being defeated by the tournament's big surprise: Alexander Blockx. However, he also praised the other great sensation of the tournament: Rafa Jódar. "I didn't watch much of yesterday's match, but overall, he is a fantastic player. He is very young, has a lot of energy, and good charisma. He seems like a very nice guy. I have spoken to him a few times, although we haven't trained together. From the outside, he gives the impression of being a very good guy. He will be a tough opponent for many years. He will keep many players on alert, and this is just the beginning for him," predicts the Oslo native.
