It was Rafa Jódar's first match in the main draw of the Mutua Madrid Open, so nobody said it would be easy. The Madrid native had to endure against Jesper de Jong (2-6, 7-5, 6-4), but he eventually found the formula to show determination and lean on the crowd to step on the gas and make it to the top 64 of the tournament. Alex De Minaur, currently ranked number 8 globally, awaits him there, so there's no need to ask on which court that match will take place. A nice reward for this young man who has been winning the hearts of everyone watching him play for the first time.
