The Madrid Open marks the first combined Men’s and Women’s tournament of the European clay swing. It’s the fourth Masters 1000 of the ATP Tour following the Sunshine Double tournaments and the Monte Carlo Masters. It has now become a two-week event.

On the WTA Tour, however, the Madrid Open is the first tournament of the 1000 category on the red dirt. The qualifying rounds of both the Men’s and Women’s events are underway on the clay courts of the Caja Magica in Manzanares Park. The main draw of the Men’s event is set to start on April 23, but the Women’s will start on April 22.

Finals of the Women’s and Men’s events will be concluded on May 3 and May 4, respectively. Prior to the Madrid Open, the tennis world was focusing on the three 500-category tournaments. Both the Barcelona Open and the BMW Open concluded on Sunday (April 20) and saw Holger Rune and Alexander Zverev lift the titles respectively.

The Madrid Open will be Novak Djokovic‘s first tournament since the Monte Carlo Masters where he fell in his opening round. The 24-time Grand Slam champion will continue his bid for the 100th title of his career after failing to do so once again when he reached the Miami Open final prior to Monte Carlo.

Carlos Alcaraz, who lost the Barcelona Open final to Rune, will be chasing his third title of the season following the Rotterdam Open and the Monte Carlo Masters. The four-time Grand Slam champion is the winner of two Madrid Open titles (2022 and 2023).

Iga Swiatek will continue her hunt for her first title of the season and her first since the 2024 French Open. World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka, on the other hand, will be chasing her third title of the season after her victories at the Brisbane International and the Miami Open. She has so far reached five finals, losing in Melbourne, Indian Wells, and Stuttgart.

Last year in the final, Swiatek saved three match points to deny Sabalenka a three-peat at the Madrid Open. Sabalenka so far has lifted just two clay-court titles, both in Madrid.

On the ATP Tour, on the ther hand, Andrey Rublev will enter the tourament as the defending champion. Last year, he dropped the first set before he triumphed over Felix Auger-Aliassime to take home the title.
