The Madrid-born player changes his tune and makes his debut in a new arena: his debut on American soil will be against Shapovalov. We provide you with all the information to follow Rafa's match.
Rafael Jódar
Since the Masters 1000 in Canada, there have been hardly any major changes in the rankings, but the Spaniard and the American benefit from their good performance in Montreal.
Within Rafa's team, there will be changes in the near future, and there are already some names on the table, but it will not happen in the short term.
Rafa Jódar came close to advancing to his first Masters 1000 final, a prize that was snatched from his hands by a much fresher Brandon Nakashima: "You have to give credit, he was better today."
It wasn't Rafa's best match, as he made mistakes in tactics against a Nakashima who shone in several aspects of the game.
The American was steady, especially with his serve, throughout the match and showcased his skills against the Spaniard, who appeared erratic, to reach his first Masters 1000 final.
