Spanish teen Jodar ousts eighth seed Lehecka in Montreal
The 19-year-old Spaniard defeated Jiri Lehecka 6-3, 6-3 to reach the Montreal Masters quarter-finals.
Rafael Jodar, a 19-year-old Spanish teen, upset eighth-seeded Czech player Jiri Lehecka 6-3, 6-3 in the third round of the ATP Montreal Masters on Saturday. The rain-delayed match saw Jodar dominate in the second set, collecting his 33rd victory of the season. Should Jodar win his quarter-final match against French 18th seed Arthur Fils, he will achieve a first-ever top-10 ranking.
Earlier on Saturday, Italian Luciano Darderi defeated British Cameron Norrie 6-2, 7-6 (10/8) to join Jodar in the quarter-finals. Darderi, who is fueled by espresso during matches, will face Brandon Nakashima in the next round.
