Lorenzo Musetti is the higher-ranked and far more accomplished player of the two, but he is still in the early stages of his return from injury and remains short of match practice. That makes this a particularly difficult matchup against an in-form Rafael Jodar.
The Spaniard has enjoyed an excellent season and boasts an impressive record on American hard courts across different levels, giving him a good opportunity to capitalize on Musetti's lack of match fitness.
Jodar Bids For Another Career Breakthrough
- Rafael Jodar has a 2–3 career record in tour-level quarterfinals.
- He has a 1–5 career record against Top 20 players.
- Lorenzo Musetti is 1–2 in tour-level quarterfinals in 2026.
- He has a 13–4 record against players outside the Top 20 this year.
HTH
This will be their first meeting.
Jodar Builds Momentum on Hard Courts
Rafael Jodar reached another tour-level quarterfinal after defeating Kei Nishikori 6-3, 6-2 in Washington. He saved all three break points he faced and converted all three opportunities he created during an impressive straight-sets victory.
Jodar has now won at least two matches in each of his last several tournaments, including six quarterfinal appearances. His impressive rise in recent months has pushed him close to the top 20 in the rankings.
He has played five tour-level quarterfinals this season and won two of them, going on to lift the title in Marrakech and reach the semifinals in Barcelona. However, he has lost his last three quarterfinals in Madrid, Rome, and the French Open.

Musetti Continues Encouraging Comeback
Lorenzo Musetti defeated Aleksandar Vukic 6-3, 5-7, 6-3 to reach the Washington quarterfinals. The Italian had an opportunity to close out the match in straight sets after leading by a break in the second, but was forced into a decider before sealing the victory.
This is Musetti's best result in Washington, improving on his second-round finish last year. He will now be looking to reach his first semifinal since January.
The Italian has struggled with fitness issues this season, which have significantly disrupted his schedule. Despite those setbacks, he has reached the final in Hong Kong, the quarterfinals at the Australian Open and Barcelona, and the fourth round in Madrid and Rome.
Musetti owns an 11-9 record in tour-level hard-court quarterfinals and has won three of his last four matches at this stage on the surface.

Verdict
Musetti's quality cannot be discounted, but his current circumstances make Jodar the more attractive option. Backing Rafael Jodar to win, Jodar to win in straight sets, and Jodar to cover the -3.5 games handicap looks well worth considering.
