Friday's ATP action in Barcelona includes a match between Cameron Norrie and Rafael Jodar. In the early betting, the Spaniard, who is clearly enjoying playing on home soil, is the big favorite, though can we make a case for his British opponent? We absolutely can. Of course, Jodar is playing well and he's loving the conditions, but let's not forget that this is a player ranked outside of the top 50, a player who isn't exactly known for his ability to win tournaments of this nature.
In contrast, Cameron Norrie a top-25 player who knows all about going the distance in events such as the ATP event in Barcelona. Jodar has played very well so far, defeating his two opponents in straight sets, but have either of those opponents tested him as much as Norrie will? Probably not. Norrie battled hard to defeat an in-form Ethan Quinn last time out, which tells us that he could likely do better here than the early odds suggest.

Our Cameron Norrie vs Rafael Jodar Prediction
At the end of the day, Jodar is only young and he's clearly a rapid improver, but we shouldn't get too caught up in the hype. Cameron Norrie is much more experienced and knows how to dig deep when things get tough, as he proved last time out. We haven't seen that from Jodar yet, who has had everything go his own way, so if Norrie can make this a test, we should not be surprised to see the 19-year-old buckle under the pressure.
At the very least, with what we know about both players, and with Norrie's extra experience, a bet on the British player to, at the very least, avoid a straight-set defeat is the way to go.
Our Cameron Norrie Rafael Jodar Pick: Cameron Norrie +1.5 Set Handicap.
