When is the 2021 Madrid Masters?

The Madrid Masters, also known as the Mutua Madrid Open which incorporates a WTA Premier Mandatory event alongside the ATP Masters 1000 Series tournament, takes place in early May as a key part of the European clay-court season.

The global health crisis in 2020 meant that the Madrid Masters was originally rescheduled for September before being cancelled altogether.

The Mutua Madrid Open returns in 2021 and will be a two-week event for the first time, with WTA qualifying beginning on Tuesday 27 April and main-draw WTA matches on Thursday 29 April. ATP qualifying begins on Saturday 1 May and ATP main-draw matches on Sunday 2 May.

Madrid Open Players 2021

The official entry list for the 2021 Madrid Masters has not yet been released, but as a Masters 1000 Series event the world’s top players are likely to appear once more at the Caja Magica.

Rafael Nadal

King of Clay Nadal has not dominated the Madrid Masters as much as he has the other clay-court Masters 1000 Series events in Monte Carlo and Rome, but he has still triumphed at the Caja Magica five times – four since it became a clay-court event in 2009. Nadal was defeated in the semifinals in 2019 by Tsitsipas, but has not lost before the quarterfinals in Madrid since 2013 and the 13-time French Open champion will be a force to be reckoned with once more in Madrid in 2021.

Stefanos Tsitsipas

Greece’s Tsitsipas defeated Nadal at the Caja Magica in the 2019 semifinals to reach the final. While he has yet to win his first Masters 1000 Series title, Tsitsipas went on to win the ATP Finals in 2019 and was a French Open semifinalist in 2020.

Alexander Zverev

The first player outside of the Big Four to triumph in Madrid since David Nalbandian in 2007, Zverev won the Madrid Masters in 2018, defeating Thiem in the final.

The German is now a three-time Masters 1000 Series champion in addition to having won the ATP Finals, and he also reached his maiden Grand Slam final in 2020.

Dominic Thiem

The ‘Prince of Clay’ made back-to-back Madrid Masters finals in 2017-18 and is a two-time French Open runner-up. Thiem will return to the Madrid Masters in 2021 as a Masters 1000 Series and Grand Slam champion, making him more formidable than ever at the Caja Magica.

About the Madrid Open

What is now called the Mutua Madrid Open began in 2002 as a hard-court event, with Andre Agassi winning the inaugural edition. Played at the Madrid Arena, Marat Safin, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Andy Murray were all among its champions.

But the tournament changed drastically in 2009 when it took on its present form, moving to the Caja Magica – aka the ‘Magic Box’ – and becoming a clay-court event. The new Mutua Madrid Open also incorporated a WTA Premier Mandatory event from 2009 onwards, and became – along with Rome and the French Open – one of the three biggest combined events of the European clay-court season.

Ion Tiriac, the former Romanian player, bought the tournament in 2009 and was the mastermind behind its reinvention – but his drive for innovation did not stop there: In 2012, the tournament was played on blue clay, a unique surface which supposedly provided a better visual experience for TV viewers. Roger Federer triumphed that year, but Nadal and Novak Djokovic were bitterly opposed and the blue clay experiment was not repeated.

Federer is the only player to have won the Madrid Masters on hard courts, blue clay and red clay, but the title record belongs to five-time champion Nadal. The ‘King of Clay’ has lifted the trophy in Madrid five times, most recently in 2017. Djokovic and Federer have both won three times, Andy Murray twice, and Alexander Zverev became the only player outside the Big Four to win it this decade when he triumphed in 2018.

Featuring a 56-singles player draw, 1,000 ranking points to the champion and over 700,000 euros in prize money, the Madrid Masters continues to be one of the biggest ATP tournaments of the year and a highlight of the European clay-court season. Its expansion to a two-week event in 2021 only underlines its significance.
