Rafa Jódar Upsets Corentin Moutet to Reach Third Round in Montreal

Spanish teenager Rafa Jódar delivered a comeback victory over France's Corentin Moutet at the Canadian Open in Montreal. After dropping the first set 4-6, Jódar rallied to win the next two sets 6-1 and 6-3, securing his place in the tournament's third round.

The 19‑year‑old entered the event as a recent top‑15 entrant, eager to join the elite group of players who have claimed multiple titles before turning twenty. His service game was initially erratic, recording a first‑serve percentage of just 44 percent in the opening set.

The match turned on a handful of crucial points, with Jódar gaining six more points overall than his opponent. The win adds a notable milestone to Jódar's young career and positions him among rising stars such as Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.

He now looks forward to his next opponent as the tournament progresses.
