Rafael Jodar vs Jesper de Jong prediction
Rafael Jodar will look to make another big impression on home turf.
The teenage Spaniard reached the semi final in Barcelona on the back of a title in Marrakech and will now look to make his mark in his country’s capital.
First up is a maiden clash with Jesper de Jong, who has struggled on tour this year, claiming just one main draw win and drifting out of the top 100.
Jodar will have the home backing and has all of the momentum as an exciting, rising star, so we expect the wildcard to maintain his recent charge and claim a comfortable win in this one.
