Rafael Jódar

The style of the Japanese tennis is very distinctive, as it embodies a tennis almost from another era in a sport where now almost everything is played with precision, speed, and power.

The Japanese summed up his feelings after defeating Jódar at Wimbledon 2026 and explained what his strategy will be to try to beat Sinner in the round of sixteen.

The Spanish tennis player starred in a forgettable match to bid farewell to Wimbledon against all odds in the third round.

The Japanese was junior Wimbledon champion seven years ago and will be the new threat to Jódar in London. This is his story.

The player from Madrid, who defeated Carreño in five sets, downplays his discomfort from yesterday and states, "I did a great job from when the match stopped last night until I stepped onto the court this morning."

The player from Gijón also commented on the controversy that occurred yesterday when Rafa asked to go to the bathroom at the beginning of the fourth set.

The Spaniard continues to push his limits at the London major and will face the Japanese for a spot in the round of 16.
 

The young man from Madrid regained his best form to complete the comeback against a Carreño who was overwhelmed. Jódar is now in the third round of Wimbledon 2026. 

The Asturian leads by two sets to one against the Madrilenian, troubled with his knee, in a very close match that will have to be finished in the next round.
