Vit Kopriva vs Rafael Jodar prediction
Rafael Jodar provided another statement performance to edge out fellow rising star Joao Fonseca in Madrid.
The Spanish wildcard wowed the home crowd with a 7-6 4-6 6-1 victory over the Brazilian 27th seed to tee up a maiden showdown with Vit Kopriva.
The Czech world number 66 was locked in a 6-4 3-6 0-0 tussle with Arthur Rinderknech when the Frenchman was forced to retire.
Managing expectation will be the key for Jodar here with the Spanish supporters now buzzing with excitement over what the 19-year-old could achieve.
Rafa will be the favourite and Kopriva shouldn’t be underestimated, but the teenager is feeding off the Soanish energy at the Caja Magica and his power-hitting is likely to be a key factor.
