The Madrid Open, one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments on the ATP and WTA Tours, is currently underway and will conclude with the women’s final on Saturday, May 4, and the men’s singles final on Sunday, May 5. The tournament is being held at the iconic Caja Magica (Magic Box) at the Manzanares Park Tennis Centre in Madrid, Spain. The Caja Magica has been the home of the Madrid Open since 2009 and features three courts with retractable roofs and a total capacity of just over 17,000 seats.
The women’s semifinals will feature world No. 1 Iga Swiatek taking on American Madison Keys, while Elena Rybakina will face the winner of the match between second seed Aryna Sabalenka and 17-year-old Mirra Andreeva. In the men’s semifinals, Felix Auger-Aliassime received a walkover after his opponent Jannik Sinner withdrew due to a hip injury. Daniil Medvedev will take on Jiri Lehecka, who stunned Rafael Nadal in the quarterfinals.
Carlos Alcaraz, who won the Madrid Open in 2022 and 2023, was hoping to achieve a ‘threepeat’ but was eliminated by Andrey Rublev in the quarterfinals this year. Aryna Sabalenka won her second Madrid title in three years in 2023 by defeating Swiatek in the final.
The 2024 Mutua Madrid Open will see the implementation of several changes, including no-advantage scoring, first-to-10 tie-breaks, and a shot clock. These changes are part of a broader effort to make tennis more fan-friendly and exciting.
