Overview
- Jódar advanced to the Washington Open final after rallying past Alejandro Tabilo in three sets, completing a run built on repeated comebacks.
- He reached the semis by overturning Lorenzo Musetti, a match in which Musetti’s serve woes—only 44% first serves in and six double faults—helped swing momentum.
- The run at this ATP 500 event guarantees Jódar will leave Washington ranked around world No. 15, the biggest jump of his debut season.
- He will face Taylor Fritz in the final, a player who beat Jódar earlier this year in Delray Beach, giving the match a clear recent head‑to‑head storyline.
- This is Jódar’s second final of the year after winning the Marrakech ATP 250 and his first deep showing on hard courts, a sign his game is translating beyond clay.
