This year’s French Open has been defined in many ways by the weather, an unprecedented week of searing heat wreaking havoc on and off the court. That trend came to an end in an instant on Sunday morning as the cool, damp conditions took over in Paris.
Rain or shine, the rise of Rafael Jódar endures. The 19-year-old took another major step forward as he put together a monumental comeback, recovering from two sets down for the first time to defeat his veteran Spanish compatriot Pablo Carreño Busta 4-6, 4-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 and reach the quarter-finals.
