Nineteen-year-old Spanish tennis player Rafa Jódar defeated Britain's Cameron Norrie 6-3, 6-2 in just over an hour on Friday to reach the semi-finals of the Barcelona Open (the Torneo Conde de Godó, one of the longest-running clay-court tournaments on the ATP Tour). The Madrid-born prospect, who claimed his first ATP title in Marrakech earlier this year, becomes only the fifth Spaniard to reach the Barcelona semi-finals before the age of 20. Jódar will face France's Arthur Fils on Saturday, with former champions and tennis insiders already drawing attention to his exceptional potential at such a young age.
