With a record of 24-10 in 2026 and the second most wins in clay this season, the teenager has shocked the world after climbing from 700th in the world to a current World No. 23, after winning an ATP 250 event in Marrakech and reaching quarter-finals Masters 1,000 event in Madrid and Rome as well as quarter-finals in Roland Garros.<\/p>\n<p>It would have been J\u00f3dar&#8217;s first senior tournament in grass, and he said that &#8220;I haven&#8217;t played much on it, but I think it&#8217;s a surface I can do well on&#8221;. However, he did not appear in Monday&#8217;s training and EFE confirms that he suffered abdominal muscle problems. He has been replaced by Marcos Giron as a &#8220;lucky loser&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>J\u00f3dar&#8217;s next tournament could be an ATP 250 tournament in Eastbourne next week, but if he doesn&#8217;t recover by then, this casts doubts about his participation in Wimbledon.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamereactor.eu\/queens-club-who-plays-in-the-atp-500-event-in-london-before-wimbledon-schedule-today-1735013\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Queen&#8217;s Club has started on Monday<\/a>, with Botic van de Zandschulp and Tommy Paul winning the first matches of round of 32.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"img-1735363-4764303\" data-fullsize=\"\/media\/43\/_4764303b.jpg\" data-lazy=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamereactor.euhttps:\/\/www.gamereactor.eu\/media\/43\/_4764303_650x.jpg\" width=\"650\" onclick=\"if (!window.__cfRLUnblockHandlers) return false; gallery_openmodal('1735363','4764303',false,'f2fa7f76d5a1cd7a8fd9f41857a2eea8');\" height=\"433\" alt=\"Rafa J\u00f3dar withdraws from Queen's Club due to abdominal issues\" class=\"rwd_col_content lazy\" data-cf-modified-62dd174c891e5821dae770cd-=\"\"\/>Fabrizio Andrea Bertani \/ Shutterstock<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Spanish player Rafael J\u00f3dar, 19 years old, has announced his withdrawal from Queen&#8217;s Club tournament, an ATP 500&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":267753,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[9,24,63,122,124,123],"class_list":["post-267752","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267752"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267752\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/267753"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267752"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267752"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
