Tournament Info
The Mutua Madrid Open is one of the flagship events of the European clay-court season and a crucial stop on the road to Roland Garros. As an ATP Masters 1000 tournament (and a combined ATP/WTA 1000 event), Madrid consistently attracts the world’s top players for two weeks of elite competition in the Spanish capital.
Originally founded in 2002 as an indoor hard-court event, the tournament made a bold transition to outdoor clay in 2009, moving to its striking modern home, the Caja Magica. The venue’s retractable-roof stadiums and futuristic design set it apart from more traditional clay venues. Madrid’s altitude — approximately 650 metres above sea level — creates slightly faster clay-court conditions, rewarding aggressive baseline play, big serving, and players willing to take initiative.
The tournament has crowned some of the sport’s greatest champions and regularly produces high-intensity matches deep into the evening. With large crowds, dramatic lighting under night sessions, and a vibrant fan village atmosphere, Madrid combines Spanish passion with world-class sporting theatre.
About Madrid
Spain’s capital is a city of grand boulevards, royal history, and infectious energy. Situated in the heart of the Iberian Peninsula, Madrid blends stately architecture with an unmistakably lively rhythm of life.

The historic centre revolves around landmarks such as the Royal Palace, Plaza Mayor, and Puerta del Sol, while world-renowned museums — including the Prado, Reina Sofía, and Thyssen-Bornemisza — form part of the celebrated “Golden Triangle of Art.” Elegant parks like El Retiro provide green sanctuary in the heart of the city, balancing Madrid’s cosmopolitan pace with moments of calm.
Madrid is also a city that thrives after dark. Late dinners, vibrant tapas bars, and bustling plazas reflect a culture built on social connection and celebration. During tournament week, that energy flows directly into the Caja Mágica, where packed stands and passionate fans create a distinctive atmosphere.
Modern yet steeped in history, refined yet exuberant, Madrid offers a fitting stage for one of the sport’s biggest clay-court battles — where altitude, ambition, and Spanish flair converge on the world stage.
