The Mutua Madrid Open takes place at one of the most spectacular venues in sport – the wood, iron and glass La Caja Mágica (aka The Magic Box). This year will be the 20th edition of the legendary WTA 1000 event. First prize for both titles is a cool €1,041,570.
Carlos Alcaraz Garfia took out both Rafael Nadal, in the quarters, and then Novak Djokovic in the semis in a hugely impressive run that will have the big players looking over their shoulders as the season heads to the summer Grand Slams.
It was today's Madrid Masters final opponent, Alexander Zverev, that won the trophy last year, though. He had to get past the in-form Stefanos Tsitsipas in a semi-final and will have experience to rely on against Alcaraz Garfia but can the home crowd carry the youngster through?
