Epic Tuesday night at the Mutua Madrid Open. The big favorite, the champion, the world number 1, Aryna Sabalenka, fell, enjoying six match points but unable to capitalize on any. Hailey Baptiste seized the opportunity to claim one of the best victories of her career (2-6, 6-2, 7-6) and advance for the first time to the semifinals of such a category tournament. And of course, for the first time on clay. The tournament loses its superstar, setting up the American to face Mirra Andreeva in the semifinals.

Alexander Blockx is emerging as one of the great stories of the Mutua Madrid Open 2026, demonstrating that all the potential that has been intuited in him for years can come to light without hindrance in the short term. The Belgian defeated Fran Cerúndolo 7-6 (8) 6-2 in a match marked by his tennis and mental consistency. He now faces Casper Ruud and is already knocking on the door of the top 50 in the world.

Each victory of Rafael Jódar puts him in a prime position to be a seeded player in Roland Garros 2026. The progression is certainly astonishing: just a few months ago, he needed to go through the qualifying rounds to earn his spot in the 2026 Australian Open... and now he is just seven points away from temporarily being among the 32 seeds in the second Slam of the year. After his win over Vit Kopriva at the 2026 Mutua Madrid Open, that is the mere distance separating him from the #33 in the rankings, although there is still a tournament in between (Rome) and a lot of tennis to be played for the situation to change. However, the changes in the rankings not only reflect the astronomical progression of the player from Leganés.

Jódar, seven points away from being a seeded player in Paris.

Aliona Bolsova doesn't want to retire. Well, she does want to, but not just yet. This week, the Spanish player is competing in her final professional tournament at the WTA 125K La Bisbal, where she began her journey today with a spectacular victory. Defeating a top 50 player like Peyton Stearns (6-4, 5-7, 7-6), Aliona celebrated a triumph that feels like glory, proving she still has the level to compete and defeat the best. She will now face her friend Marina Bassols in the round of 16, a match filled with emotion that no one will want to miss.

Stefanos Tsitsipas is seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, and the level of play shown in Madrid gives hope to believe in his athletic comeback. Losing to Ruud the way he did must have been a tough blow for the Greek, who just hours later, wrote one of his classic messages on social media. "It's not chasing success to impress. It's chasing it because you refuse to live a life that feels unfinished," he asserted.

Rafael Jódar continues to write his own story with every victory at the Mutua Madrid Open 2026. The first quarterfinals of Masters 1000 are always immensely special, even more so when you reach the level of two Spanish tennis legends in various statistics by doing so. The truth is that Rafa is already the third Spanish in history to reach the quarterfinals of Masters 1000 as a teenager, before turning 20; the only ones to achieve this were Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz, a select list to which the Spaniard now joins. Quite an achievement.

Casper Ruud and Stefanos Tsitsipas have played what may possibly be the best match of the Mutua Madrid Open 2026. After nearly three hours of battle, it was ultimately the Norwegian tennis player who secured his spot in the quarterfinals with a 6-7(4) 7-6(2) 7-6(3) victory. Tsitsipas had the chance to serve for the match in the third set, but the defending champion dug deep to achieve a heroic win and eliminate the Greek player, who despite this tough setback, takes many positives from Madrid for the future.

Rafa Jódar is the great sensation of the ATP circuit. The breakthrough of the Spanish tennis player has been a breath of fresh air, going from playing the qualifiers of major tournaments to reaching the final rounds and being on the verge of being seeded. However, former number one player Andy Roddick has warned about what could happen at Roland Garros. "Playing five sets is very different. Don't overreact if Jódar loses a closely contested match in five sets at Roland Garros. You have to earn your place," he concluded.

The withdrawal of Carlos Alcaraz from Madrid, Rome, and Roland Garros has cleared the way for Jannik Sinner to complete his trophy collection and also the Career Grand Slam. However, in the 'Tennis Weekly Podcast,' a controversial opinion was given on this matter. "If Sinner wins Roland Garros and completes the Career Grand Slam, it would be with an asterisk because he wouldn't face the best tennis player on clay right now, who is Carlos Alcaraz. I know they had a match in Monte Carlo and both competed well, but I still think Sinner needs to prove more things in a best-of-five sets against Alcaraz."
