Jodar vs Moutet Prediction 5 August 2026
🔊 Rafael Jodar earned the 20th seed in Montreal - a reflection of what the Spanish teenager has done this season. At 19, he's at a career-high ranking and enters the tournament in the second round against Corentin Moutet. The Frenchman, eight years older, has never broken into the top 30. In this prediction, we look at what decides it - Moutet's experience or Jodar's youth.

Head-to-head statistics Jodar - Moutet
Rafael Jodar Player Overview
Rafael Jodar arrives at the tournament having won seven of his last ten matches. At the recent Washington hard-court ATP 500, he beat two top-30 players - Lorenzo Musetti and Alejandro Tabilo - before losing to world No. 10 Taylor Fritz in the final. He wins more than half of all games and sets, and his hold rate sits at a solid 76%. Jodar rarely goes through extended error streaks mid-match, which helps him get results across surfaces - the ATP 250 clay title in Marrakesh four months ago being the clearest example.
Match Results: Rafael Jodar
Corentin Moutet Player Overview
Moutet is in poor form - just two wins from his last ten matches. He's also been getting bagelled regularly: five straight-set losses in that same stretch. His hold rate is slightly higher (78%), but overall game win rate sits at just 47% - below his upcoming opponent. Moutet struggles against top-level competition, and that shows in his set win rate: 30%. He did dismantle Marton Fucsovics in the first round in Montreal (6:1, 6:2), though that's easier to explain when you're 24 spots above your opponent in the rankings.
Match Results: Corentin Moutet
Key factors
- Corentin Moutet has lost 8 of his last 10 matches.
- Five of those losses were in straight sets.
- Rafael Jodar consistently wins more than half of his games and sets.
- The Spaniard is a versatile player - he performs well across different surfaces.
Expected scenario
Jodar should control this. He's been solid on both serve and return. A third set looks unlikely - Moutet has a habit of dropping matches without much of a fight. Even a big win in the first round probably won't save him from going out in the next one.
⭐ Editor's prediction
The gap in class, recent win data, and Corentin Moutet's high rate of straight-set losses all point toward a short match. Moutet doesn't look like someone who can push a top-20 player right now. Rafael Jodar holds the edge across the key metrics, and his recent run on hard courts in Washington - not exactly his natural surface - only reinforces how well-rounded the Spaniard is. Jodar handicap (-3.5) looks right here.
