aka Madrit.

No Novak, but aside from that all the top players are expected to show up.

Qualies today, main draw starts tomorrow. Big guns enter later this week.

This didn't happen once at the W35 Santa Margharita last week.

And that's also a combined tournament (M25 also played there) with tons of matches being played concurrently.

Harriet Dart won a set on clay. Plain
By:

When: 22 Apr 24 16:04
The last time Harriet Dart had won a set on red clay against a top150 opponent was againt Buzarnescu at RG 2020 and I'd strongly assume the Romanian's body was in all sorts of shambles at the time.

Excited to see Tyra Grant later against Siegemund. Doubt she is ready for this level and ready for someone who has a degree in all the dirtiest psychologic tricks, but I think she is someone who possibly has a future on the main tour.

The people of the Mutua Madrid website apparently confused Rybakina with Rybarikova (who'd do such a thing?) and put the retired slovakian player's name on the practice schedule instead of the Kazakh's.

Guess that's the last we have seen of Alycia Parks in WTA1000/500 qualification draws until after she has picked up some wins in W35 and W60 indoor tournaments in the fall.

Or actually might still see her in Rome with entry deadlines always preceding the events. Two weeks in the case of WTA qualification draws I think without looking it up.

Silvia Ambrosio switching from Germany to Italy is already paying off.

no wonder Italy is doing better than Spain. If not for Carlos, Spain would be in big trouble.

Yeah, first Spain's biggest tournament always gives wild cards to romanians while being owned by Tiriac and now always to clients of IMG, the new owner.

Well done to Zanevska for managing to sell you some Savage Love Candles based on their name. That's good marketing!

Set your alarms for Fonseca versus local waiter. Should be a new gen cracker.
