The 2024 ATP and WTA Tours continue in full swing, and some of the world’s best players are in the Spanish capital, Madrid, for the fourth ATP Masters 1000 event and fifth WTA 1000 tournament of the year. It’s the Madrid Open, and there’s plenty of anticipation ahead of both the men’s and women’s singles tournaments.
With men’s world number one Novak Djokovic not competing due to a schedule change, it’s a wide open field, with Australian Open winner Jannik Sinner coming into the tournament as the top seed, and last year’s champion, Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, seeded second behind the Italian and above Daniil Medvedev.
The women’s singles tournament also looks too close to call, with 2023 Madrid Open winner Aryna Sabalenka seeded second behind world number one Iga Swiatek despite winning the first Grand Slam of the season in Australia for the second year running. Swiatek and Sabalenka will no doubt be favoured to go all the way having contested last year’s final, but American third seed Coco Gauff will also be hoping to make good progress.

This year’s edition of the Madrid Open got underway on Monday, April 22 with the first round of qualifiers for both ATP and WTA events. After two days of matches for the lower-ranked players to try and make the tournament proper, the men’s and women’s opening rounds kick off on Wednesday, April 24.
There’s a whopping eight courts to play on at La Caja Majica in Madrid, and there’ll be between four and six matches hosted on each throughout the tournament over the next 14 days of world-class tennis.
Those 14 days culminate on Sunday, May 5 2024, with the men’s singles final and the women’s doubles decider. The WTA singles final will take place a day earlier on Saturday, May 4, as both competitions are whittled down to a final two from the initial 128 apiece in round 1.
