The 2021 Madrid Open should be a great spectacle as some of the best ATP & WTA players will meet in the Spanish capital from April 29th - May 9th.
While the WTA event will start already on April 29th and end on May 8th, the ATP event will start a few days later on May 2nd and run until May 9th. The best of the best should meet in Madrid with Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Ashleigh Barty, Naomi Osaka, and Simona Halep on the star-studded entry lists.
After skipping the 2020 event due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the Madrid Open will be played again after 2 years. The prize money back in 2019 was really nice for players with more than 1 million euros for the winner. However, this year it will be different as the winner will take only 315,160€ with the overall prize money being $2,614,465.
The most important thing for players will be that the points will be the same as in 2019 and so the winner will take 1000 points with the runner-up adding 600 to the rankings and 188,280€ in the prize money. The semifinalists will then take 106,690€ and 360 points to the rankings. You can see the whole distribution in the table below.

- FYI: The term 'snub' is a much overused verb by writers of sensationalist rags. [SNUB: rebuff, ignore, or spurn disdainfully]. That is not the definition of what is going on with frequent withdrawals from tournaments.
mandoist16-09-2024 - No offence, Mr. Lloyd, but where have you been the past two years?? How long have you been a tennis fan? This 'article' may be informative for newbies or fair-weather tennis observers but the majority of fans know the root of the multiple issues within WTA. The #1 issue being the subject of health & well-being which has been (or has attempted to be) addressed with the WTA Elitist council members last season. WTA was extremely dismissive of players' concerns and opposed to such a meeting. Eventually giving-in due to publicity and allowed selective players only -- no rep's, no medical personnel, and no team members. The meeting was a farce as WTA soon after that released an even more hectic schedule... with mandatory tourneys! Guess they weren't taking notes?? BTW: There is a lot missing from this piece concerning "withdrawals". No writer has yet taken the jump to get behind the scenes and dig at the problems -- obvious organizational problems. IMO, the top two issues are WTA's lack of proper attention to health & well-being of its Money-Makers; and Financial Greed. Tip to Mr. Lloyd: there is no "snubbing" when these players withdraw. These women have to take such measures as withdrawing from a tourney, and occasional time-off from the circuit, to protect themselves -- because WTA refuses to take any measures at all (although not allowing matches until sunrise is a start). Surely you can do better than point fingers at players. The finger-pointing should be directed entirely at WTA (and ATP). Be a true journalist, Mr. Lloyd, and research them!!mandoist16-09-2024
- Uh-oh.... Now Raducanu is being forced to compete! Let's see who withdraws next... I wonder??mandoist15-09-2024
