The 2021 Madrid Open will be the 2nd ATP Masters 1000 event held on clay in 2021 and it will run from 2nd to 9th May.
It will the 19th ATP edition of the event that is making a return to the tennis calendar having not been held in 2020 due to the pandemic. The event is a strong one despite the absence of several notable names including de facto defending champion Novak Djokovic who won the last edition of the event in 2019. Roger Federer will also be absent so the top seed will be Rafael Nadal closely followed by Medvedev, Thiem and Tsitsipas.
Eight of the top 10 in the world will attend the event that will be held in the stunningly beautiful Caja Magica in Madrid. The top 8 seeds as always will receive a 1st round BYE but there are several sensational possible matchups in the 2nd round. Top seed Rafael Nadal will face either Mannarino or Alcaracaz in the 2nd with Jannik Sinner potentially awaiting in R3.
Daniil Medvedev will most likely get his campaign underway against clay specialist Davidovich Fokina while Dominic Thiem received a very good draw most likely facing a qualifier in R2. Red-hot Tsitsipas will play either Paire or Basilasvhili while Matteo Berrettini might have to play Fabio Fognini in R2. Alexander Zverev was not too lucky with his draw facing a possible R2 matchup vs Nishikori or Khachanov.
In terms of potential later round matchups, Nadal has Zverev, Thiem and Rublev on his side of the draw while Medvedev has Tsitsipas, Berrettini and Schwartzman. Check out the full draw below.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026
- Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
