2024 Madrid Open Tuesday SCHEDULE and PREVIEW featuring Nadal, Alcaraz, Swiatek and Jabeur
Tennis News
The
Last 16 at the Madrid Open in the men's draw and the Quarterfinals in the
women's draw, on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, will feature local favorites Rafael
Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz, along with Daniil Medvedev on Court Manolo Santana,
as well as the women's matches featuring Iga Swiatek vs. Beatriz Haddad Maia
and Ons Jabeur vs. Madison Keys.
Our
preview looks ahead to Day 7 at the Caja Magica on all courts to bring you the
details of another day with fewer and fewer players in competition.
Nadal, Alcaraz, and Medvedev lead the charge
The
eight men's matches will be played across the Manolo Santana and Arantxa
Sanchez-Vicario Courts. Daniil Medvedev (No. 4) will kick off the day on the
main stadium facing Aleksander Bublik (No. 18). The Russian player overcame
tough challenges against Matteo Arnaldi (No. 36) and Sebastian Korda (No. 26),
both in three sets, and is looking to reach the last 8 in Madrid for the first
time in his career.
The
two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz will face a rematch of the 2023
final against the German Jan-Lennard Struff (No. 24), who is on a streak of 6
consecutive wins on clay and recently won his first career title at the Munich
Open a week ago. So far, it has been a smooth path for Alcaraz, who defeated Alexander
Shevchenko (No. 59) and Thiago Seyboth Wild (No. 63), both in straight sets.
Rafael
Nadal (No. 512) will take to the court for the second consecutive day, this
time against Jiri Lehecka (No. 31). The 22-times Grand Slam champion had to go
to a third set to defeat Pedro Cachin (No. 91), and it will be interesting to
see his physical condition after advancing through three consecutive wins,
something that hadn't happened since the 2022 US Open. In the second set
against the Argentine, he appeared physically diminished but managed to secure
the victory.
Alcaraz has 13 consecutive wins in Madrid and has won two consecutive titles. He could become the first player to win the title 3-times in a row
The
inspired Casper Ruud (No. 6) will face Felix Auger-Aliassime (No. 35), who
advanced by walkover after Jakub Mensik (No. 74) retired during the second set
of their match (6-1, 1-0, ret.). The Norwegian player has 7 consecutive wins
(11-1 since the start of the clay swing) and will be the favorite to continue
his winning streak.
Other
matches of the day include Andrey Rublev (No. 8) vs. Tallon Griekspoor (No. 25),
Taylor Fritz (No. 13) vs. Hubert Hurkacz (No. 10), Alexander Zverev (No. 5) vs.
Francisco Cerundolo (No. 22). Also, the winners of the matches Flavio
Cobolli/Karen Khachanov and Jannik Sinner/Pavel Kotov will be in action.
Swiatek and Jabeur aim for Quarterfinals
World
No. 1 Iga Swiatek looks to bounce back from her semifinal defeat at the Porsche
Tennis Grand Prix a week ago, where she had won the title in the previous two
years. So far, Swiatek has been dominant, conceding only eight games in her
last three matches (considering only the last two), and is in great confidence
to face the always tough Beatriz Haddad Maia (No. 14).
The
2022 Madrid Open champion Ons Jabeur (No. 9), seems to have found confidence in
the Caja Magica, especially after an impressive victory of 6-0, 6-4 against
former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko (No. 10). Her opponent will be the
American Madison Keys (No. 20), who dispatched world No. 3 Coco Gauff in three
sets.
