Carlos Alcaraz, who won the title in 2022 and 2023 after defeating Alexander Zverev in the final two years ago and then Jan-Lennard Struff last year, is aiming for a ‘threepeat’.
Arina Sabalenka defeated world No. 1 Iga Sviatek in 2023 to win her second Madrid title in three years.
An innovative doubles experiment has begun in Madrid
Changes piloted at the 2024 Mutua Madrid Open include:
- More singles vs. doubles action. The 32-team draw will reserve 16 slots for teams entering by their singles rankings, creating an unprecedented number of matchups between the world’s top doubles and singles players and offering fans new narratives.
- A streamlined schedule spanning five days (Tuesday to Saturday) in the second week of the tournament provides a simple and sharp schedule for fans and players alike.
- The shot clock has been reduced to increase the speed of play and reduce downtime during matches. The time between points is reduced to 15 seconds following rallies of less than four shots (four or more shots = 25 seconds).
- Quick changes with fewer sit-downs to speed up play.
- Free fan movement in the arena during the game adds convenience to the on-site experience.
