Rafael Jodar vs Cameron Norrie Prediction

With Alcaraz’s withdrawal, the Spanish faithful will pin their hopes on Jodar if they are to see a home champion this weekend. And Jodar is in immaculate form, winning his last seven matches and coming off a title win in Marrakech. Norrie has a pedigree and experience on this surface, but I’ll take the younger legs of Jodar and in the form he is in, Jodar has to be the heavy favorite to make the semis on home soil.
