Just one Spanish player remains in the 2026 Barcelona Open. Rafael Jodar is a wild card in this outdoor clay court tournament and he faces ninth seed Arthur Fils for a place in Sunday's final against either Hamad Medjedovic or Andrey Rublev. Read our match prediction below.
Arthur Fils has been in excellent form this year since making his return from injury in February. He has made it to one final already this year, doing so in Doha's outdoor hard court tournament.
This week has seen him defeat Terence Atmane (in three sets), Brandon Nakashima and on Friday, the second seed Lorenzo Musetti. Fils has won 14 of his last 17 matches and this is his second successive semi-final in Barcelona.
The Frenchman is 29th in the live rankings, but up to eighth in the ATP Race.
Rafael Jodar won the ATP Tour clay court event played in Marrakech last month. The teenager is flying high with all eight of his clay court matches played this year being won. Friday saw him defeat seventh seed Cameron Norrie for the loss of only five games. He's a career-high 42nd in the live rankings.
This could well go to three sets but we tip Fils to get the win.
