The massive wave of last-minute withdrawals continues at the Mutua Madrid Open 2026, with two notable absences in the women's draw this time. The Russian Veronika Kudermetova and the American Emma Navarro, both former top-10 players, will not be able to compete at the Caja Mágica. The implications of this are significant as it grants direct entry into the main draw for Taylor Townsend, who had previously received a wild card, freeing it up for another player. Krueger also advances directly to the main draw.
