Alexander Blockx once again was the surprise of the Mutua Madrid Open 2026. First against Félix Auger-Aliassime and then against Casper Ruud, which has allowed him to reach his first Masters 1000 semifinals, an achievement that was unexpected at the beginning of the week. He confirmed this in his on-court statements: "I'm just happy to be here. Even winning my first match here made me happy. But semifinals, I wouldn't even have dreamed of that. I'm proud of how I've been playing in the last few matches. I think the conditions suit me well here. It's clay, which is slow. I have time to settle and hit my shots, go for my shots. But at the same time, it's quite fast with the altitude and the heat. It's the perfect combination for me."
