Cilic is out at the last minute, and Fonseca is already waiting for Jódar or De Miñaur in the third round of Madrid
Marin Cilic will not take to the Arantxa Sánchez Court to play his second-round match of the Mutua Madrid Open 2026 against Joao Fonseca. The Croatian has been forced to withdraw due to injury, so the Brazilian is already in the third round of the Madrid tournament. In fact, the Rio de Janeiro native reaches this round at the Caja Mágica for the first time, and his next opponent will come from the match between Rafa Jódar and Alex de Miñaur, who are facing off in a few minutes on the Manolo Santana Court.
COURT CHANGE
The match between Tommy Paul and Thiago Agustín Tirante will be moved to the Arantxa Sánchez Stadium not before 8:00 pm.
