19‑Year‑Old Gesta Jódar Makes Roland Garros Debut

At 19, Gesta Jódar is playing his first Roland Garros match after a dramatic rise from the top‑700 to 19 wins on clay in his debut pro season.

Jódar, who spent a year as a student in Virginia, entered the professional circuit a year ago and has already amassed 19 victories on clay, the most of any player in the tour. He is set to make his Grand Slam debut at Roland Garros, marking a rapid ascent from the lower echelons of the rankings to the world’s biggest tennis stage. forestarrow.rest
