Impressive rise that Rafa Jódar is experiencing. Still enrolled at the University of Virginia, the Spaniard has already clinched his first Challenger title at 18 years old. It happened in Hersonissos, Greece, with a clear victory in the final over Dan Added by 6-4 6-2. With this title, Jódar climbs to the 395th spot in the Ranking and could improve on this next week as he will compete in another Challenger there.
Given his active participation in the University matches, it's quite remarkable that he's already within the Top 400 with so few tournaments under his belt. A testament to the tremendous talent this young man possesses. It seems like this title won't be the last.
