Rafael Jodar’s attempt to make a major milestone in ATP rankings is halted after he loses to Brandon Nakashima in the semi-finals of the Canadian Open. The Spanish teenager does not progress to the final, ending his run at the tournament.
The same semi-final weekend also features a WTA final determined by Elena Rybakina, who is reported as beating Coco Gauff. While outlets focus on different matches, both cover Jodar’s defeat as the key outcome for his campaign in Canada, with his rankings-related bid put on hold as a result.
