Watching this match live will be a special opportunity for all Spanish fans to accompany Rafa Jódar on a journey that may gain significance over time. The player from Leganés faces his match against Brandon Nakashima as a strong favorite: he has decisively overcome stronger opposition, seems destined to soon open his account of major titles, and the conditions of the ATP Montreal 2026 suit him perfectly.
However, the Spaniard must not get complacent: he will face one of the most improved players of 2026, a Brandon Nakashima who has clearly taken a leap forward in terms of tennis level. The American has advanced to five semifinals this season and even gave a hard time to Taylor Fritz, who was Jódar’s conqueror in the Washington final, in their semifinal match (where both faced off and Brandon took a set from him).
His path in Canada has been filled with good tests, albeit of lesser intensity than those faced by the player from Leganés. Brandon arrives at the semis after defeating a mediocre Darderi and previously overcoming a tenacious Rinderknech in a very tightly contested match (decided 7-5 in the third set). His dynamic tennis, full of revolutions and consistency from the baseline should provide us with a match of beautiful exchanges, although we lack any prior encounters to rely on (this will be their first match against each other).
