Madrid Open 2023 tennis preview
The 2023 Madrid Open runs from 25th April – 7th May 2023 at La Caja Mágica, Madrid. The prize money is a tasty €7,705,780, but that won't interest Spanish idol Carlos Alcaraz and Tunisian star Ons Jabeur, each of whom triumphed at La Caja Mágica a year ago. Defending their titles will be reward enough.
There have only been two successful defences of the women's title in the history of the tournament, and there are at least three players in the draw that feel just as close a connection with the Manolo Santana as Jabeur.
Paula Badosa is always the fans' favourite, Petra Kvitova has won the tournament three times, and the Madrid Open is the only clay tournament Aryna Sabalenka has ever won. The Belarusian, in the midst of the best season of her career, returns to the Spanish capital as a grand slam winner.
That's not to mention world No.1 Iga Swiatek, who had to swerve last year's event with a shoulder injury, and Elena Rybakina, competing here for the first time since establishing herself as a genuine elite force on the tennis grid.
The men's tournament, by contrast, almost always reflects the rankings. Only three editions of the Madrid Open have been won by somebody who wasn't ranked at No.1, but the man currently at the top of the rankings, Novak Djokovic, has pulled out with an elbow issue.
With Rafael Nadal also absent, current world No.2 Alcaraz will command the full backing of the locals, though Russian duo Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev look well-positioned to make deep runs of their own, having each lifted major titles in recent weeks.
