On Sunday, Rafael Jodar erased a two-set deficit to defeat Spanish compatriot Pablo Carreno Busta in five sets.<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old’s ascension has been meteoric, a year removed from playing collegiately at the University of Virginia.<\/p>\n
Jodar found his rhythm in the last three sets, committing only 19 unforced errors.<\/p>\n
In the quarterfinal, Jodar will face No. 2 seed Alexander Zverev, who defeated Jesper de Jong in straight sets to continue his pursuit of a first Grand Slam title.<\/p>\n
The top-ranked German played an all-around perfect match, excelling on first serve, at the net, and from the baseline.<\/p>\n
In one of the final two men’s matches of the day, Joao Fonseca defeated Casper Ruud in four sets.<\/p>\n
Ruud caused significant problems for Fonseca with his relentless defense and stellar shot-making abilities.<\/p>\n
After winning the third set, Ruud emerged the more energized player as Fonseca began to feel the effects of coming off back-to-back five-set matches.<\/p>\n
However, Ruud was unable to capitalize on that, committing a number of unforced errors at crucial moments.<\/p>\n
The No. 29 seed will face 20-year-old Jakub Mensik in the quarterfinal.<\/p>\n
After taking a two-set-to-love lead, Mensik’s opponent, Andrey Rublev, launched a furious comeback, eventually sending the match to five sets.<\/p>\n
In the final set, Mensik relied on his serve and consistent play to secure victory.<\/p>\n
