The 2022 Mutua Madrid Open is the first WTA 1000 event on clay this year and it features the best in the world with Swiatek leading the field.
The event was won by Aryna Sabalenka last year as the Belarussian defeated Ashleigh Barty in the final but only one of those players will be back this year. Barty obviously retired while Sabalenka is not enjoying her season so far. Leading the field is Iga Swiatek who lost to Barty last year and she will look to do better this year at the event running from April 28th till May 7th.
Joining her are world number two Krejcikova who is returning from injury, Sakkari who loves to play on clay and Paula Badosa who will be waving the Spanish flag proudly for the fans. All in all, all top 20 players are signed up for the event including Emma Raducanu who never played in Caja Magica. If you want to see the full entry list, check below.
