Rafael Jódar
The Spanish team earned fewer points to qualify than the last qualifier for the ATP Finals since 2021.
The young man from Madrid will accompany Alcaraz at the 2026 ATP Finals and enters the golden history of Spanish tennis in his first season as a professional.
The American will be Alcaraz's opponent in the quarterfinals of the Paris Masters 1000, and if victorious, he will displace Rafael Jódar from the ATP Finals.
Spanish is in a privileged situation that was unimaginable 24 hours ago, thanks to the defeats of Djokovic and De Miñaur. Only two players could thwart his presence in Turin.
