Match recap

Rafael Jodar defeated Pablo Carreno Busta 4-6, 4-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 in the R16 of the French Open 2026.

The break-point ledger told the whole story: Jodar converted 8 of 11 chances while Carreno Busta cashed just 4 of 14, leaking serve early and never recovering. With both men matched at three aces and three double faults, the serving was a wash — the difference was Jodar's ruthlessness on the return, and he books his place in the Roland-Garros quarterfinals.
