Alejandro Tabilo vs Rafael Jodar prediction

Alejandro Tabilo returns to action after a mediocre Asian leg of the ATP Tour, and he will be hoping to find some form as he returns to Europe.

That will be easier said than done, however, as he has been handed an incredibly tough opening match against Spanish prodigy Rafael Jodar.

Amazingly, the pair have already played three times in 2026, and after Tabilo won the first encounter at Indian Wells, Jodar responded by beating him in Washington and Cincinnati.

Jodar comes off a runner-up finish at the ATP 1000 event in Shanghai, where he lost to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, and the young Spaniard will be highly motivated to hold on to the final qualifying spot in the race for the ATP Finals.

He has Alex de Minaur and Novak Djokovic hot on his tail, so there should be no doubt about his motivation coming into this one.

Jodar comfortably had Tabilo’s number last time out, and given their familiarity with each other’s games, we expect Jodar to ease to victory once again.
