Jodar was ouside of the Top 100 ranked playes in he world he is now ranked 19 in t he world and if he wisthe fianl in Washington he will be raned number 12 on Mondaay, That puts him ahead o seasoned players like Musetti, Ruud and Rublev to name a few,
Joda showed form on clay - bu vanishd from sight for a while. When I rote about him in April - you mentoned that he would be better on grass and Sinners comment on him was brief - the latter said "what a player" after struggling to beat him.
Joadr never played on Grass before and wa a best iffy, What I did not know was that Jodar spent last year playing Unvesity tennis for the University of Virginia and playing Callenger Tennis in the USA and he virtually never lost matches on USA hard courts, His frst ATP match on hard courts were in March this year w hen he played in the Indian Wells tournament - but lost early against Tabilo - but his record omn hard cou,rts on APL level is 15 matches played - 12 matches won..
So it seems you were correct when you said he would be better on grsss and hard courts at the time. He is playing Tabilio again tonight and he is the hot bookmakers favourite to win tonight as well as in the final where he will face either Taylor Fritz or Nakashima.
Th xports sees to t hink that he will go deep in Montreal where hsi Round 3 match would be agaist Musetti and I do not thnk the latter is happy about that Draw,
