Rafa Jodar He is one of the four Spanish tennis players in the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell draw. The Madrid native has received an invitation from the organization to debut in the Open 500 in Barcelona.
Debut with Jaume Munar. “I knew it was going to be a difficult match for me to play. In this case it was Jaume. To tell the truth, I don’t know how he plays very well because it is my first year on the circuit. I am going to try to prepare well this weekend and give my best level.”
Marrakesh. “I felt better as the week went by, but we shouldn’t underestimate the other players either.”
I go through the university. “It’s an option, it’s not that you have to be safe. I went one year and it went quite well.”
What I want is to develop in the three surfaces
Feet on the ground. “I don’t work with any psychologist. Everything is the result of the conversations I have with my family and my parents. That is what determines who I am and the values they have given me since I was little. I am not going to change because of what I achieve or what I don’t achieve. I will always be the same person, just as humble and who really likes tennis and who, thanks to this sport, is having very good experiences.”
Goals. “I don’t set any goals for myself, I didn’t set them at the beginning of the season when I started this first year as a professional. I’m not going to set them to win a title. What I want is to develop on all three surfaces.”
The figure of Rafa Jódar Sr. “He advises me very well and we are forming a team in which we are very comfortable. My team is me and my father.”
