The schedule has been confirmed for Day Two at the 2024 Madrid Open with a stellar line-up upon us for Tuesday at the Caja Magica in particular on a WTA side with many Grand Slam champions and leading lights in action.
Our preview looks ahead to the top ties and talking points as the action continues in Madrid featuring Emma Raducanu, Naomi Osaka, Caroline Wozniacki, Paula Badosa and Mirra Andreeva.
The main show court on Tuesday will feature some blasts from the past including a tie that was highly talked about between two veterans of the sport in Sara Errani and Caroline Wozniacki who have played as far back as Portoroz back in 2008 as well as in the Quarter-Finals of the US Open in 2014 and most recently 2018 at the Istanbul Cup in a three setter.
Gael Monfils will take on Luciano Darderi, while Martin Landaluce who was the only ATP wildcard initially announced will face Daniel Altmaier. Paula Badosa then takes on a tough test in her opener as she will face Jessica Bouzas Maneiro who has been hoovering up titles and wins for fun in lower level tournaments. But was not handed a wildcard which was a bone of conjecture especially given that most of the wildcards were handed out to non Spaniards who are managed by IMG.
Speaking of IMG managed players, Emma Raducanu will open her account on Arantxa Sanchez Stadium tomorrow mid afternoon when she faces Maria Lourdes Carle in the first round. If she gets through, she faces Veronika Kudermetova. Naomi Osaka is on before Raducanu facing Greet Minnen. Other standouts include Mirra Andreeva facing Taylor Townsend and Thanasi Kokkinakis v Jack Draper.
Sloane Stephens of 'well it won't be Trevisan' fame from her famous Roland Garros press conference moment will face the Italian in a full circle moment. Aslan Karatsev - Fabian Marozsan, Botic van de Zandschulp - Christopher Eubanks and Corentin Moutet - Juncheng Shang all in a row looks a good trio on Court 4. Rafael Nadal was also confirmed today that he will face Darwin Blanch on Thursday.
