Players and Draw
Carlos Alcaraz will be the top seed at the tournament this year. He recently lifted the Monte Carlo Masters trophy to overtake Alexander Zverev in the ATP rankings and is currently ranked No. 2. However, World No. 1 Jannik Sinner is still serving his three-month doping suspension and will not be competing at Madrid.
The biggest challenge for Alcaraz will come from the likes of defending champion Andrey Rublev, second seed Alexander Zverev, and Novak Djokovic. The field will also feature a bunch of Americans led by Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul.
Iga Swiatek, meanwhile, will be the second seed at this year’s tournament. She will anchor the bottom half of the tournament. On the other side of the draw stands World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka.
The two will face stiff resistance from Americans Jessica Pegula, Coco Gauff, and Emma Navarro. Jasmine Paolini, Mirra Andreeva, and Zheng Qinwen are the other big names set to feature in this year’s draw.
