Draw WTA Madrid Open 2025 headlined by Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, Mirra Andreeva and Jessica Pegula
WTA
The draw has been completed on the WTA side of the draw for the Madrid Open which takes place at the famous Caja Magica between April 22 and May 4.
Aryna Sabalenka will face a qualifier while Alexandra Eala who was in the ceremony sat on the table could face Iga Swiatek in the second round.
They faced off in the final last year and have shared the titles in recent years aside from Ons Jabeur's excellence previously in Spain so will both be among the favourites to do so again.
Other top names involved include Coco Gauff who faces either Dayana Yastremska or a qualifier. Mirra Andreeva who made such a splash two years ago as a 15-year-old faces off against either Renata Zarazua or Marie Bouzkova.
Andreeva turns 18 during this tournament so her rise has come full circle as she no longer has to worry about eligibility. Other star names include Zheng Qinwen who faces either Anastasia Potapova or Ashlyn Krueger in a tough opening examination. Marta Kostyuk gets a bye then could face Emma Raducanu who returns after a break or Suzan Lamens who reached the latter stages in Rouen.
Jessica Pegula will likely open against Eva Lys who faces a qualifier in the first round. Elena Rybakina will open against either McCartney Kessler or Bianca Andreescu in another tough examination. Jasmine Paolini faces either Katerina Siniakova or Katie Boulter. Jelena Ostapenko who has reached the final of Stuttgart will face either compatriot Anastasija Sevastova or Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
Petra Kvitova is the player who Aryna Sabalenka would tie with if she can win another title this week and she returns to face Katie Volynets before a potential meeting with Diana Shnaider.
Emma Navarro gets a bye and will face Carlota Martinez Cirez or a qualifier. While Madison Keys is on a potential collision course with Naomi Osaka.

- 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.

- 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
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
