WTA Madrid Open Players 2021

The Mutua Madrid Open always attracts a top-flight field of women’s stars and 2021 will be no exception.

One of four Premier Mandatory events on the calendar – meaning that all players ranked high enough to enter are required to play unless they are exempt through illness or injury – the Madrid Open is also one of the most popular tournaments on the WTA Tour and a key battleground ahead of the French Open. Serena Williams, Petra Kvitova, Simona Halep and Kiki Bertens are among champions in Madrid in recent years.

Kiki Bertens

Defending champion Kiki Bertens proved that her reputation as one of the WTA’s finest clay-court players was well-deserved when she reached the Madrid Open final in 2018, then went one better in 2019, avenging her 2018 final defeat to Petra Kvitova and beating former French Open champions Jelena Ostapenko and Simona Halep to boot to claim the title.

Could Bertens become the first player in Madrid history to reach the final three years in a row?

Simona Halep

Halep is one of only two players to win back-to-back Madrid Open titles and she has a brilliant 24-7 record at the tournament, making the final four times between 2014-19 and winning in 2016-17.

The 2018 French Open champion is a reliable presence at the closing stages of the Madrid event.

Petra Kvitova

Two-time Wimbledon champion Kvitova is the only player to have won the Madrid Open three times since its inception as a WTA Tour event in 2009, claiming the title in 2011 (d. Victoria Azarenka), 2015 (d. Svetlana Kuznetsova) and 2018 (d. Kiki Bertens). The big power game of the Czech left-hander is ideally suited to the fast clay of Madrid.

Serena Williams

The 23-time major champion became the first woman to win back-to-back Madrid Open titles when she triumphed in 2012-13, defeating Azarenka and Maria Sharapova in respective finals.

Since losing to Kvitova in the 2015 semifinals, Williams has not played the Madrid Open – will she return in 2021?

Ashleigh Barty

The reigning world no. 1, Barty did not attempt to defend her French Open title in 2020 with travel restrictions making it difficult for her to prepare sufficiently, so we should expect the Australian to return to the WTA Tour with renewed purpose in 2021 after barely being able to play in 2020.

Barty made the quarterfinals of the Madrid Open in 2019 and with her big serve, she should be a real threat to go further in 2021.

Naomi Osaka

Now a three-time Grand Slam champion after claiming the US Open title in 2020, Osaka’s clay-court game is still something of a work in process – but the fast clay of Madrid and its high altitude conditions should suit the Japanese-Haitian player’s power game and big serve in 2021.

About the Madrid Open

The Mutua Madrid Open is one of four WTA Premier Mandatory events on the calendar, which offer 1,000 ranking points to the winner and prize money of $4.5 million.

As you would expect, all the best players in the world are eager to fill the 64-player draw at the Caja Magica. With just a few weeks separating the Madrid Open from the French Open, the chance to tune up one’s game on clay by competing at the highest level is also an irresistible prospect. Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova are the only players to have won WTA Madrid and Roland Garros in the same season, doing so in 2013 and 2014 respectively; the 2014 final, in which Sharapova defeated Simona Halep, foreshadowed the French Open final which would feature the same two players and the same result.

The tournament now known as the Mutua Madrid Open was first played in 2002 as an autumn hard-court event at the Madrid Arena and only open to the ATP Tour. Ion Tiriac bought the tournament in 2009, moved it to Madrid’s iconic Caja Magica – aka the ‘Magic Box’, equipped with a retractable roof – and made it a combined ATP Masters 1000 Series and WTA Premier Mandatory event. It has been played on red clay ever since, except for 2012, when the tournament experimented with blue clay. The male players, especially Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic who both lost early, complained vociferously and the experiment was abandoned – although it had not seemed to bother Serena Williams, who won back-to-back titles on blue and red clay in 2012-13.

Romania’s Simona Halep became the second player to win back-to-back Madrid Open titles in 2016-17 and has still reached more finals than any other player, having also finished runner-up in 2014 and 2019. But the record for most Madrid Open titles belongs to Petra Kvitova, the two-time Wimbledon champion, who won in Madrid in 2011 (d. Victoria Azarenka), 2015 (d. Svetlana Kuznetsova) and 2018 (d. Kiki Bertens).

The Mutua Madrid Open next takes place from 27 April-9 May 2021.
