One month before Roland-Garros, Arthur Fils made a strong impression on Friday, in the quarter-final of the ATP 500 in Barcelona against Lorenzo Musetti (6-3, 6-4). At 21, the 30th in the world is only one step away from the final. On Saturday, he will face Rafael Jodar (WC) who won in front of Norrie.
At what time and on which TV channel to see Jodar – Arthur Fils in the semi-final of the ATP 500 in Barcelona
The match between the Spaniard and the Frenchman will be broadcast on Eurosport, live, not before 4 p.m., on Saturday April 18, 2026.
Son ready for battle
At a slow trot against Térence Atmane, against whom he was almost eliminated and he saved two match points (4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (7) in 2h24), Fils gained momentum. On Thursday, he defeated Brandon Nakashima (6-2, 6-3) and on Friday, he eliminated the semi-finalist at Roland-Garros and finalist at Monte-Carlo in 2025, Lorenzo Musetti.
Young prospect Jodar surprises Norrie
Winner 7-3, 6-2 over Norrie in the quarter-final, the 19-year-old Spaniard pulled off a nice move, having benefited from a Wild Card for this Barcelona Tournament. 55th in the world, he eliminated Ugo Carabelli (6-3, 6-3) and Munar (6-1, 6-2) in the previous rounds. Rafael Jodar has therefore still not lost a set in Catalonia. Arthur Fils is warned.
