Rafa Jódar and Martín Landaluce are leaving Spanish tennis on a high note. The two players from Madrid have advanced to the quarterfinals of the ATP Roma 2026 after defeating Learner Tien and Hamad Medjedovic, respectively. Additionally, both rackets have achieved a rare feat, becoming the fifth pair from the same country to reach the quarterfinals of a Masters 1000 tournament before turning 21 since the year 2000. This accomplishment was previously achieved by Robby Ginepri and Andy Roddick in Indian Wells 2003 and Cincinnati 2003; Rafa Nadal and Nico Almagro in Rome 2006; and Félix Auger-Aliassime and Denis Shapovalov in Miami 2019.
