Rafa Jódar has secured his spot in the quarterfinals of the Barcelona Open 2026 after defeating Ugo Carabelli with a convincing scoreline of 6-3 6-3 in just an hour and 29 minutes of play. This is just another example of the exponential growth of the Spanish tennis player in recent weeks, as at only 19 years old, he continues to impress the tennis world.

Having rapidly climbed the ATP ranking during the hard court swing, Jódar has shown that he can perform perfectly on all types of surfaces. In fact, it has been on clay where he clinched his first ATP 250 in Marrakech, propelling him into the top 60 of the rankings. Now that he has proven to himself that he can compete against the best, he is extending his good streak at the Barcelona Open, improving his ranking, and dreaming of causing an upset.

Jódar builds momentum in the first set

The match started with a much more erratic Jódar compared to his performance against Munar two days ago. This led to a break in the first game, which Carabelli capitalized on to go 2-0 ahead. Rafa had a chance to break back, but he struggled to find the necessary consistency to challenge the Argentine. However, once the Spanish player secured his first game, the nerves disappeared, and his game started clicking again.

In fact, he quickly broke back Carabelli with a love game on return, kicking off a series of winners that led to Ugo losing five games in a row. Eventually, Jódar closed out the first set 6-3, growing stronger as the set progressed and showing superior form compared to his opponent, especially from the third game onwards. His forehand turned into a weapon, posing a problem for the Argentine.

Jódar speeds toward the quarterfinals

The second set started evenly until Jódar's pace became too much for Carabelli. The Spanish player displayed flawless play, breaking once again to take a 2-1 lead and serve, with everything in his favor to advance to the quarterfinals. The maturity and composure of this 19-year-old player, who continues to grow by leaps and bounds, are impressive. While he had to save a break point in the sixth game, his powerful serve made things easier.

It seemed like Carabelli's persistence might pay off with another 15-40 in the eighth game, but once again, Jódar unleashed his best shots to thwart his efforts. At that point, the Argentine player gave in, conceding his serve once more to hand the victory to the Spaniard with a double 6-3 scoreline. In the next round, he will face the winner of the match between Cameron Norrie and Ethan Quinn, with high expectations of achieving a great result.
