The Mutua Madrid Open once again ended up with no Spanish representation in the women's draw in the second round. The latest to fall was Spain's number one racket, Cristina Bucsa. The current world number 30 fell to Zeynep Sonmez in three sets (1-6, 7-6, 6-2). However, in the mixed zone after her defeat, the Spanish player spoke about the lack of sponsors despite being the current number one in Spanish women's tennis: "The Superior Sports Council has not contacted me yet. There have been people who have contacted me, but I have not liked their proposals. So, I am still waiting for someone to dare to bet on my career."
