Rafael Jódar, the 24‑year‑old who climbed the ranks out of Tarragona, will face Britain’s Felix Gill in that first round of Wimbledon on June 29, 2026, a match that opens the tournament’s men’s singles draw. The bout is Jódar’s Grand Slam debut, and British and international outlets, including the London Evening Standard and Diari de Tarragona, have christened him an “entertaining” underdog, likening his flair to one tennis “Neymar” as fans wonder whether he can pull off an upset.
