The program in Madrid: The return of Alcaraz, Zverev – Coric and Rune against the finalist in Bucharest

The Masters race in Madrid is starting to enter its most interesting phase as it is time for the tournament’s top seeds to come into play. Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz will play his first match since losing to Grigor Dimitrov at the Miami Masters. The Spaniard has been struggling for the last 2 weeks with an injury in the area of ​​the right forearm and has not been able to train normally in recent days, and we have yet to find out how optimal he really is.

In addition, on the court we will see Andrei Rublev, who will try to break his streak of 4 losses in a row, and the most interesting clashes will be those of Holger Rune and Alexander Zverev, who will meet serious tests in the face of Mariano Navone and Borna Coric.

For the ladies, last year’s champion Arina Sabalenka will be in action, opening her participation with a match against the finalist from Rouen – Magda Linet. Elena Rybakina, on the other hand, will try to maintain her perfect streak on clay during the season and seems to have every chance to do so, facing Lucia Brondzetti, and the highlight of the ladies’ programs is undoubtedly the teenage derby between Mira Andreeva and Linda Noskova.
