Rafael Jodar vs Alejandro Tabilo prediction

World number 11 Rafael Jodar came into Cincinnati on the back of reaching the final of the Montreal Open, eventually beaten in straight sets by Brandon Nakashima. He earned a hard-fought win against Denis Shapovalov in the second round of this tournament the other day.

After an impressive spring and early part to 2026, things have showed down for Alejandro Tabilo. The Chilean put in a strong performance the other day to dispatch of Jan-Lennard Struff in just 19 games.

Alejandro Tabilo is a strong operator but perhaps more so on clay and Jodar will fancy himself to continue what has been an impressive year for the 19-year-old.
