Rafael Jodar has been one of the breakout performers of this clay swing, compiling an impressive 15 wins against only two losses, both coming against in-form stars Arthur Fils and Jannik Sinner. His current form certainly deserves respect, but the odds still look a bit too short against a seasoned clay-court player like Luciano Darderi.
Top-20 Wins Boost Darderi
- Rafael Jodar holds a 15–2 clay record this year.
- He has a 2–1 record in tour-level quarterfinals.
- Luciano Darderi is 7–5 in tour-level quarterfinals.
- He won five of his last seven matches vs Top 50 players.
HTH
This will be their first meeting.
Jodar Reaches Another Masters Quarterfinal
Rafael Jodar defeated Learner Tien 6-1, 6-4 to reach the quarterfinals in Rome in his debut appearance at the tournament. He trailed by a break in the second set but quickly recovered to close out the match comfortably.
This marks Jodar’s fourth consecutive quarterfinal appearance on tour and his second at Masters level after losing to Jannik Sinner at this stage in Madrid a few weeks ago. He also reached the semifinals in Barcelona and won the title in Marrakech earlier this season.
The rise of the 19-year-old has been remarkable considering he had not played a tour-level match before 2026. With this latest run, he is now set to make his top-30 debut in the rankings next week.
Jodar has now won 15 of his 17 matches on clay this year, with both defeats coming against top-20 opponents. He now faces another top-20 test in the quarterfinals this week.

Darderi Stuns Zverev In Rome Epic
Luciano Darderi produced a stunning comeback to defeat Alexander Zverev 1-6, 7-6, 6-0 and reach the quarterfinals in Rome. He trailed by a set and a break and also saved four match points in the second-set tiebreak before turning the match around completely.
With this victory, Darderi snapped a five-match losing streak against top-10 opponents. It is also his maiden Masters quarterfinal, as he had never progressed beyond the fourth round at this level before this week.
The Italian arrived in Rome lacking confidence after failing to record consecutive wins since February. Earlier this season, however, he reached three quarterfinals, losing in Auckland while converting his runs in Buenos Aires and Santiago into finals.
Darderi now owns a 7-5 record in tour-level quarterfinals and has won four of his last five at this stage. After securing the biggest win of his career against Zverev, he now looks to continue his dream run even further in Rome.

Verdict
Darderi arrives with confidence after a major win over former champion Alexander Zverev and has all the tools to compete strongly on this surface. At underdog odds, there is enough value to take a chance on Darderi here. Backing Darderi to win and Darderi to win at least a set both stand out as appealing options.
