Italian Open: Rafael Jodar Storms Into QF, Matches Djokovic Feat
Italian Luciano Darderi: Spanish teen sensation Rafael Jodar continued his rapid rise on clay by powering into the quarter-finals of the Italian Open with a commanding straight-sets victory over American youngster Learner Tien on Tuesday.
The 19-year-old produced another statement performance at the Foro Italico, defeating Tien 6-1, 6-4 to become the first teenager since Novak Djokovic in 2007 to reach the quarter-finals at multiple ATP Masters 1000 events in the same season.
Djokovic reached the Italian Open quarter-finals as a teenager in 2007, shortly before turning 20, while Rafael Nadal remains the youngest semi-finalist in the tournament this century after his run in 2006. Jodar now has the opportunity to place himself alongside those names in the event’s history books.
