Spanish teen Jodar ousts eighth seed Lehecka at Montreal

Spanish teen Rafael Jodar triumphed over Czech eighth seed Jiri Lehecka in straight sets at the ATP Montreal Masters, advancing to the quarter-finals. The 19-year-old Spaniard, who is ranked 15th in the world, triumphed 6-3, 6-3 in a rain-soaked match following an afternoon delay. Jodar, who has won 33 matches this season, will face French 18th seed Arthur Fils in the next round.

Fils, who defeated Britain's Cameron Norrie in the earlier round, will play in his fourth Masters quarter-final of the year. Meanwhile, Italian Luciano Darderi secured a 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 victory over Portugal's Nuno Borges, fueled by an espresso during a mid-match changeover. Darderi will take on Brandon Nakashima in the quarter-finals, as Nakashima defeated Rinderknech 7-6 (7/4), 5-7, 7-5 in a delayed match that was halted due to rain and lightning concerns.
