The Mutua Madrid Open is one of the biggest tennis events in Spain, attracting top ATP and WTA players to compete on the famous clay courts of the Caja Mágica. Taking place from May 2 to May 11, 2025, this tournament is a key fixture in the clay court season and an important warm-up for Roland Garros.

A Premier Tennis Tournament

The Mutua Madrid Open began in 2002 as a hard-court tournament before transitioning to clay in 2009, solidifying its place as a crucial stop in the European clay-court swing. Over the years, it has seen legendary champions, including Rafael Nadal (5 titles), Roger Federer (3 titles), and Novak Djokovic (3 titles). Recent winners include Spain’s own Carlos Alcaraz (2022, 2023) and Andrey Rublev (2024), with exciting matches played in front of passionate crowds.

Latest News: Djokovic’s Return

This year’s tournament has an extra buzz, as Novak Djokovic is set to return after missing the last two years. The 24-time Grand Slam champion has won the Madrid title three times (2011, 2016, 2019) and will be aiming to add another trophy to his collection. His absence in recent years was due to an elbow injury and a strategic focus on other tournaments, but he now returns fresh off breaking Rafael Nadal’s record for the most ATP Masters 1000 wins (411 victories).

While Djokovic’s return is a major highlight, the tournament will also feature top-ranked stars like Carlos Alcaraz, Taylor Fritz, and defending champion Andrey Rublev. However, world No. 1 Jannik Sinner will not compete due to a suspension, making Alexander Zverev the top seed.
