WTA 125K Vic. Here are the quarterfinals, with only one seed

While all eyes are on the Mutua Madrid Open, simultaneously other tournaments are taking place such as the WTA 125K in Vic. In fact, some of the players who were eliminated in the first week at the Caja Mágica decided to participate in the Catalan tournament. However, some top seeds like Leylah Fernández, Renata Zarazúa, Lulu Sun, or Kimberly Birrell are absent. As a result, only the third seed, Katerina Siniakova, remains in contention.

Here are the quarterfinals of the WTA 125K Vic:

. A Sasnovich - C Martinez Cirez

. [3] K Siniakova - R Masarova

. G Maristany - D Galfi

. A Bolsova - O Selekhmeteva

Tsitsipas and Badosa surprise and will play in the 100th edition of the Huelva tournament

Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas will be the special guests at the centenary edition of the Huelva tournament. The tournament will take place in July, and both will be present at the Huelva Recreational Tennis Club in case they are eliminated in the early rounds of Wimbledon. The Greek player would face Alejandro Davidovich in the final, while the Spanish player would meet Jessica Bouzas. The event is scheduled for July 12, but everything depends on the participation of these four players in the London Grand Slam.

Arnaldi and Draper dream of the title in Madrid and will meet in the quarterfinals

Very few were counting on them at the start of this Mutua Madrid Open, but quietly and taking advantage of the absences of the favorites, Matteo Arnaldi and Jack Draper are already in the quarterfinals at the Caja Mágica. The Italian defeated Frances Tiafoe 6-3, 7-5 after an hour and 39 minutes. Meanwhile, the Indian Wells champion is starting to feel more comfortable on clay and easily beat Tommy Paul 6-2, 6-2 after an hour and nine minutes. However, one of the two will bid farewell to the Spanish tournament, as they will face each other for a spot in the semifinals.

The player who was disqualified for insulting the chair umpire... Grabbed him by the neck at the end of the match!

The scene that took place yesterday at the Futures de Sabadell was surreal, when the Russian player Svyatoslav Gulin insulted the referee by saying, "You, sucker!" He was consequently eliminated, but it seems that it didn't end there. In a subsequent interview with a Russian media, he claimed that after leaving the court, he went after the referee and grabbed him by the neck. Although he expressed regret in the same interview, mentioning that the emotions of the match got the best of him.

 

Sinner's interview smashes the ratings in Italy

It seems like in Italy there was a desire to listen to their favorite athlete. Rai1 offered an exclusive interview with Jannik Sinner, a week before returning to the courts at the Rome Masters 1000. The program led the television ratings in the country, attracting 24.6% of viewers, totaling 4,766,000 viewers. The show ‘Gioco, Partita, Incontro con Sinner’ almost doubled its closest competitor. Jannik gave an interview where he talked about how he has experienced these last three months, revealing that he even considered taking some time off before receiving the sanction.

Gauff takes advantage of Andreeva's collapse and will meet Swiatek in the semifinals

Coco Gauff seems to have figured out Mirra Andreeva. It's now three victories in three matches for the American. However, in these quarterfinals of the Mutua Madrid Open, the Russian was playing a great first set, reaching 5-4 and 40-15, enjoying two set points, but the American saved them and from there on, Conchita Martinez's protégé collapsed, not winning another point in what remained of the first set and in the second set was a mere shadow of what she usually is. Gauff maintained her level and won the match 7-5, 6-1, to meet the current champion, Iga Swiatek, in the semifinals.

Swiatek surpasses Serena in a stat that confirms her reliability against the Top 10

Iga Swiatek really struggled to come back against Madison Keys in the quarterfinals of the Mutua Madrid Open, but the Polish player turned it around and defeated the world number five (0-6, 6-3, 6-2). With this win, the title defender advances to the semifinals and surpasses Serena Williams in the percentage of victories against Top 10 players. Swiatek now has a 71% winning rate, while Serena retired with a 70.9%. However, there is still one player above the one from Warsaw, Steffi Graf, who has a 75% winning rate.

 

"When Max is given Sinner's sanction six times... the system has failed"

This past Tuesday, the tennis world learned about the sanction of Max Purcell. The Australian had accepted an 18-month suspension for exceeding the permissible limit of a multivitamin that he introduced into his body through an intravenous injection. His Australian friends, such as Nick Kyrgios or John Millman, have come to his defense and criticized the system, comparing it to what happened with Jannik Sinner.

"When Sinner receives a three-month suspension for a banned substance, and Max is given six times the penalty he received, it's hard not to think that the system has failed its players," Millman commented in SMH. Kyrgios, on his part, refers to the occurrence as "ridiculous," stating that the system is corrupt.

 


 

 

Alcaraz returns to training with bandages on both legs

Carlos Alcaraz has picked up a tennis racket again after the Conde de Godó final on April 20. Since then, the player from Murcia had not set foot on a tennis court due to his injury in the right adductor and certain discomfort in the left hamstring, which forced him to withdraw from the Mutua Madrid Open. The world number three stated that he would take a few days off to avoid pushing too hard, and on Wednesday, the 30th, he returned to training in Murcia, with both legs bandaged as a precaution. It is worth noting that his main goal is to arrive in the best possible condition at Roland Garros, but he does not rule out playing in Rome if he has positive feelings.

Swiatek recovers from a 'bagel' against and comes back against a combative Keys

Iga Swiatek was not going to give up so easily. After suffering a 0-6 deficit in the first set against a Madison Keys who was not missing a shot, the Polish player turned the game around in time, fueled by the wounded pride of being the current champion to advance to the semifinals of the Mutua Madrid Open. Swiatek clinched the match 0-6, 6-3, 6-2, in an hour and 45 minutes displaying great tennis after a slow start. The title defender aims to retain her title and secure her first trophy of the year. She is now in the semifinals awaiting either Mirra Andreeva or Coco Gauff.

Ruud achieves his 'objective' of reaching the quarterfinals in Madrid after defeating Fritz

Casper Ruud seems to have found his tennis game at just the right moment. After a shaky start to the year, not beginning the clay court season in the best possible way and dropping out of the Top 10, the Norwegian has reacted at the Mutua Madrid Open and has achieved the 'goal' he set at the beginning of the tournament: reaching the quarterfinals. He did so by defeating Taylor Fritz, the semifinalist of the previous edition, with a 7-5, 6-4 victory after an hour and 36 minutes of play. The Oslo native will face Daniil Medvedev next Thursday.

Novak Djokovic
These are the seeded players eliminated in the second round of the Mutua Madrid Open 2025

After the conclusion of the second round of the 2025 Mutua Madrid Open, a total of nine seeded players suffered defeat in their debut in the Spanish capital. The most notable loss was Novak Djokovic's against Matteo Arnaldi (6-3 6-4), while the most spectacular one was Arthur Fils's defeat by Francisco Comesaña (7-6 6-4), with the Argentine coming back from a 1-5 deficit on the scoreboard. The other eliminated seeds were as follows:

Mutua Madrid Open 2025: Order of Play for Saturday, April 26. Djokovic debuts

The schedule for Saturday, April 26, 2025 at this Mutua Madrid Open 2025 sets the stage for an absolutely stellar opening day of the tournament. Novak Djokovic will make his appearance, returning to the Spanish capital after several years and starting his campaign against Matteo Arnaldi. This will take place in the third slot on the Manolo Santana Court, not before 15:30 in the afternoon. The day's lineup still boasts many equally attractive names: the evening session at the Caja Mágica will feature high-caliber matches, including Iga Swiatek vs Linda Noskova not before 20:00 and, to conclude, a very appealing Joao Fonseca vs Tommy Paul. Quite a lineup.

Arnaldi's confession after beating Djokovic: "At first, I tried not to shit myself"

Being sincere, Matteo Arnaldi expressed himself on the track after securing the victory against Novak Djokovic at the Mutua Madrid Open 2025 with a phrase that has resonated among fans: "At first, I simply tried not to shit myself," the Italian confessed to SkySport microphones with a big smile, fully aware of the significant achievement this result represents both in the Spanish tournament and in his career.

This was the tremendous anger of Novak Djokovic in his training: "To hell with sports, tennis, and everything else!"

Novak Djokovic is back at the Mutua Madrid Open, after his absences in 2022 and 2023. He will be the main focus of attention for this edition following the last-minute withdrawal of Carlos Alcaraz and will debut against Matteo Arnaldi next Saturday 26. However, in his last training session with Arthur Fils, he was seen very angry at times and even said: "Fuck sports, tennis, and everything else!"

The data that reflects a paradigm shift in tennis after Djokovic's defeat

While it is true that the Serbian has been an example of perseverance and consistency on the circuit for decades, he is not currently at his best. The defeat of Novak Djokovic in his debut at the Mutua Madrid Open 2025 against Matteo Arnaldi leaves a fact that could mark a turning point. For the first time in the history of the Masters 1000, there will be no players born in the 80s in the Round of 32.

Arnaldi wins an intense duel against Coric and will be Djokovic's first opponent in Madrid

Novak Djokovic already knows who will be his opponent in his debut at the Mutua Madrid Open 2025. The Serbian, who has not played in Madrid since 2022, will face Matteo Arnaldi next Saturday, after Arnaldi defeated Borna Coric in a true two-hour and 45-minute 'thriller', advancing to the second round with a victory of 4-6, 6-4, 7-5. This will be the first time Djokovic and the Italian will meet.

Arnaldi, on track: "Djokovic is my idol, he always has been"

Exciting moments were experienced right after the chair umpire confirmed the result and hence the victory of Matteo Arnaldi over Novak Djokovic in the Mutua Madrid Open 2025: "He is my idol. He has always been. I was happy to be able to play with him because I had never done it before; I had only trained with him once. Playing with him at a time like this was already a victory for me. He's not at his best moment. I went out on the court to try to play my best tennis and win. Right now, I don't even know what to say."

These are the main beneficiaries of Alcaraz's withdrawal in the Mutua Madrid Open 2025

Carlos Alcaraz will not be able to compete in the 2025 Mutua Madrid Open, and that has clear consequences for the disposition of the men's draw in the Madrid tournament. Novak Djokovic, his potential opponent in the semifinals, may be considered one of the fortunate ones due to this absence, while players like Jiri Lehecka, Grigor Dimitrov, Tomas Machac, or Alex de Miñaur are others who could have crossed paths with the Murcian and, therefore, now breathe a sigh of relief to see their path more cleared.

Carlos Alcaraz
Alcaraz returns to training with bandages on both legs

Carlos Alcaraz has picked up a tennis racket again after the Conde de Godó final on April 20. Since then, the player from Murcia had not set foot on a tennis court due to his injury in the right adductor and certain discomfort in the left hamstring, which forced him to withdraw from the Mutua Madrid Open. The world number three stated that he would take a few days off to avoid pushing too hard, and on Wednesday, the 30th, he returned to training in Murcia, with both legs bandaged as a precaution. It is worth noting that his main goal is to arrive in the best possible condition at Roland Garros, but he does not rule out playing in Rome if he has positive feelings.

Feliciano López, following Alcaraz's withdrawal: "You have to know how to choose where you play"

The withdrawal of Carlos Alcaraz from the Mutua Madrid Open came as a cold shower to the tournament organizers, who saw the main attraction unable to play at the Caja Mágica after experiencing discomfort in the final of the Conde de Godó. The player from Murcia competed in 10 matches in 12 days, and his body is asking for rest. Addressing the choice of tournaments and matches, Feliciano López, the director of the Madrid tournament, commented in an interview with Partidazo de la COPE: "You have to know where to play, especially for players like Carlitos, who have the opportunity to win the title every week. I'm not saying that playing Barcelona and Monte Carlo was the only reason, but it has an influence," stated the Spaniard.

Sinner reveals which moment of his career he has not yet managed to overcome

Jannik Sinner granted an interview to RAI1, the Italian public television, and in it, he confessed which moment in his career he has not yet managed to overcome: "There have been some things in the past, for example, the match point against Carlos Alcaraz in the US Open 2022 that I didn't take advantage of," asserts the number one about a match that haunts him in his dreams, just like Xavi Hernández is haunted by the marking he received from Chico Flores in a Barcelona-Almeria match in 2009. All the greats have a day to forget.

The identity of the player who will replace Alcaraz at the Mutua Madrid Open 2025 has been revealed

Carlos Alcaraz has left a huge void in the Mutua Madrid Open 2025 draw, but his place must be filled by a player from the qualifying rounds. The lucky loser chosen will be luckier than ever as they will go from losing in the qualifying rounds to starting their journey in the second round of the main draw, facing Gabriel Diallo. It will be the Polish player Kamil Majchrzak who will have that privilege, having lost in the qualifying rounds against the Dane Moller.

Alcaraz is now the richest tennis player in history at 21 years old

Carlos Alcaraz continues to break records for precocity at almost 22 years old, which he will turn this coming May. The Murcian is already the youngest player in history to reach $40 million in prize money from tennis competitions. Currently, only 10 players surpass him in earnings throughout history. From most money received to least, this is the list without figures: Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Serena Williams, Andy Murray, Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev, Pete Sampras, Venus Williams, Simona Halep, and Carlos Alcaraz.

These are the main beneficiaries of Alcaraz's withdrawal in the Mutua Madrid Open 2025

Carlos Alcaraz will not be able to compete in the 2025 Mutua Madrid Open, and that has clear consequences for the disposition of the men's draw in the Madrid tournament. Novak Djokovic, his potential opponent in the semifinals, may be considered one of the fortunate ones due to this absence, while players like Jiri Lehecka, Grigor Dimitrov, Tomas Machac, or Alex de Miñaur are others who could have crossed paths with the Murcian and, therefore, now breathe a sigh of relief to see their path more cleared.

Alcaraz has fun on motorcycles with Marc Márquez as host

Enjoying his forced rest due to injury, Carlos Alcaraz is visiting the south of Spain. After attending the final of the Copa del Rey between Barcelona and Real Madrid in Seville, the player from Murcia has traveled to Jerez de la Frontera to have fun with motorcycles. Both he and Marc Márquez have posted photos on social media in which Carlitos dared to ride the rider's motorcycle.

These are the significant consequences in the ATP ranking due to Alcaraz's absence in Madrid

Carlos Alcaraz has bid farewell to the utopian but mathematically possible chance he had to snatch the world number 1 spot from Jannik Sinner before Roland Garros 2025. The last-minute withdrawal from the Mutua Madrid Open 2025 by the Spaniard ensures that the Italian is guaranteed to arrive at the Parisian Grand Slam at the top of the ATP ranking. This also compels Carlos to compete in Rome, achieve a great result, and hope that Alexander Zverev does not advance far in either Madrid or the Foro Itálico if he wants to enter as the world number 2, thus avoiding Sinner until a hypothetical final.

Alcaraz returns to training with bandages on both legs

Carlos Alcaraz has picked up a tennis racket again after the Conde de Godó final on April 20. Since then, the player from Murcia had not set foot on a tennis court due to his injury in the right adductor and certain discomfort in the left hamstring, which forced him to withdraw from the Mutua Madrid Open. The world number three stated that he would take a few days off to avoid pushing too hard, and on Wednesday, the 30th, he returned to training in Murcia, with both legs bandaged as a precaution. It is worth noting that his main goal is to arrive in the best possible condition at Roland Garros, but he does not rule out playing in Rome if he has positive feelings.

Jannik Sinner granted an interview to RAI1, the Italian public television, and in it, he confessed which moment in his career he has not yet managed to overcome: "There have been some things in the past, for example, the match point against Carlos Alcaraz in the US Open 2022 that I didn't take advantage of," asserts the number one about a match that haunts him in his dreams, just like Xavi Hernández is haunted by the marking he received from Chico Flores in a Barcelona-Almeria match in 2009. All the greats have a day to forget.

Carlos Alcaraz continues to break records for precocity at almost 22 years old, which he will turn this coming May. The Murcian is already the youngest player in history to reach $40 million in prize money from tennis competitions. Currently, only 10 players surpass him in earnings throughout history. From most money received to least, this is the list without figures: Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Serena Williams, Andy Murray, Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev, Pete Sampras, Venus Williams, Simona Halep, and Carlos Alcaraz.

The withdrawal of Carlos Alcaraz from the Mutua Madrid Open came as a cold shower to the tournament organizers, who saw the main attraction unable to play at the Caja Mágica after experiencing discomfort in the final of the Conde de Godó. The player from Murcia competed in 10 matches in 12 days, and his body is asking for rest. Addressing the choice of tournaments and matches, Feliciano López, the director of the Madrid tournament, commented in an interview with Partidazo de la COPE: "You have to know where to play, especially for players like Carlitos, who have the opportunity to win the title every week. I'm not saying that playing Barcelona and Monte Carlo was the only reason, but it has an influence," stated the Spaniard.

Carlos Alcaraz has left a huge void in the Mutua Madrid Open 2025 draw, but his place must be filled by a player from the qualifying rounds. The lucky loser chosen will be luckier than ever as they will go from losing in the qualifying rounds to starting their journey in the second round of the main draw, facing Gabriel Diallo. It will be the Polish player Kamil Majchrzak who will have that privilege, having lost in the qualifying rounds against the Dane Moller.

Carlos Alcaraz will not be able to compete in the 2025 Mutua Madrid Open, and that has clear consequences for the disposition of the men's draw in the Madrid tournament. Novak Djokovic, his potential opponent in the semifinals, may be considered one of the fortunate ones due to this absence, while players like Jiri Lehecka, Grigor Dimitrov, Tomas Machac, or Alex de Miñaur are others who could have crossed paths with the Murcian and, therefore, now breathe a sigh of relief to see their path more cleared.

Rafael Nadal
This is how Nadal would like the Big 4 to reunite

Rafael Nadal does not feel the necessary motivation to play tennis, but he is fully enjoying another sport that has always been one of his great passions: golf. In an interview with TheTelegraph, he even confessed that he would like to gather all the Big 4 members in an amateur golf tournament, although the difference in skill level could be a challenge.

Rafael Nadal gave an interview to TheTelegraph where he was asked about the doping sanction on Jannik Sinner. His response was clear, standing up for the Italian. "If I'm not mistaken, the ruling basically declares him innocent. It's evident that everything that happened was not good for tennis, but accidents like this occur in life. I believe in Jannik, I am fully convinced that he never intended to cheat or gain an advantage over others with any substance. He is a person of very good moral character. I don't mean to question the ruling with this. There are protocols we need to follow, and if they need to be changed, we have to work towards it. As far as I'm concerned, the case is closed," he concluded.
