April 21, 2025

Mutua Madrid Open prepares the last details for an edition full of candidates. This Monday, the draw of the individual male painting was held in the bowels of the Magic Box, where the ATP Masters 1000 Glory on whipped land will be served throughout the next two weeks. The capital of Spain becomes the epicenter of the circuit and the best rackets in the world already heat engines to dominate brick dust.

The two -time Alexander Zverev champion leads the painting with the aim of making history in the Magic Fund and lifting the triple crown. The German will begin its way to a local figure, with Roberto Bautista Agut or Jaume Munar as the first touchstone. In a sector full of Spanish talent, the figures of Pablo Carreño Busta and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina appear as possible crosses in their third round, ensuring a star environment around the main sown of the painting.

In case it was little intensity, the current champion Andrey Rublev also shares the sector with the German, appearing in a hypothetical quarterfinal crossing. If the seventh standard head dreams of repeating the 2024 deed, its horizon presents challenges of Gael Monfils caliber, Jakub Mensik or Ben Shelton in the first rounds.

In the upper part of the painting, Danish Holger Rune will also compete, launching on beaten land after crowning the ATP 500 of Barcelona. The altitude of Madrid will be a scenario to dominate with great gluedes along the way. The American Taylor Fritz appears on the Río del Scandinavo as a possible rival in the quarterfinals, an objective that could involve duels before figures of enormous experience such as Casper Ruud, Daniil Medvedev or Marin Cilic.

Carlos Alcaraz will try to take advantage of the heat of the public to fly in the lower part of the painting. The Murcia would debut before the Belgian Zizou Bergs or the Japanese Yoshihito Nishioka, with the intention of extending a formidable spooled earth tour. In an intense sector, the Spanish could find Grigor Dimitrov in the fourth round and a wall in the quarterfinals, where a launched Alex de Miñaur or the quality of Stefanos Tsitsipas appear as main candidates in the Spanish capital.

The lower part of the painting will be loaded with the presence of Novak Djokovic, which competes for the first time in the Magic Box since the 2022 season. The Balkan will begin its way to the Italian Matteo Arnaldi or a rival from the previous phase, trying to recover the aura as three times champion of the tournament. His idyll with the Manolo Santana stadium will have to be forged in a vibrant sector, with French Tiafoe as a possible crossing in the round of 16 and Jack Draper on the horizon of the quarterfinals. The presence of #nextGenatp Joao Fonseca in this part of the painting adds a special attraction to the Old 1 World Camino.
