The Mutua Madrid Open 2026 has experienced a second round marked by a real bloodbath in the men's draw. The top part of the draw, that of Jannik Sinner, was completely open after the elimination of numerous seeded players. A scenario that leaves a much more open draw than expected and invites to think about opportunities for players outside the usual spotlight. Madrid, true to its unpredictable essence, once again shows that anything can happen in the land of the Magic Box. In total, 12 seeded players have bid farewell in this round.

Stefanos Tsitsipas seems to have found oxygen in Madrid. The Greek player secured a solid victory against Alexander Bublik with 6-2 and 7-5, displaying a vastly superior version compared to his debut. After a tough battle against Kypson, whom he defeated in two nerve-wracking tie-breaks in the second and third sets, Tsitsipas took a step forward and reminded everyone of the player who was once feared on the circuit. He controlled the match from start to finish, delivered 10 aces, and did not offer a single break point, wrapping up the match in just an hour and fifteen minutes. This triumph marks a small resurgence for him and sets him up for the third round, where he will face Dani Mérida.

Aryna Sabalenka shared one of the day's anecdotes after her victory against Jaqueline Cristian in the third round of the Mutua Madrid Open. The Belarusian appreciated the court's atmosphere but couldn't help making a joke to the Spanish audience. "Thank you all, the atmosphere has been incredible. But I have to say... when you were cheering more for her, I got a bit mad. Next time, please, support me instead," she said jokingly.

Mirra Andreeva shared a great reflection on her future in the Grand Slam tournaments, reducing any kind of pressure despite her significant potential. The Russian acknowledged that, in women's tennis, it is difficult to anticipate where the great opportunity may arise. "Honestly, it's hard to say. I have many ups and downs, and I don't know on which surface I will play better. A Grand Slam is a Grand Slam. If it happens at Wimbledon, great; if it's in Australia, also great. I'm not picky about that. I just try to focus 100% on each tournament," she explained. Additionally, Andreeva also revealed the effort behind her good moment on clay courts: "The preparation was really tough. I would come home exhausted, as if it were preseason again. But it seems to be paying off."

Casper Ruud started his title defense at the Mutua Madrid Open with a more than convincing victory over Jaume Munar in just 1 hour of play (6-0, 6-1). The Norwegian seems to have overcome the physical problems that forced him to withdraw from Monte Carlo and faces the Madrid tournament with great enthusiasm. Furthermore, there is a fact that supports his candidacy. Since 2020, Ruud is the player with the most wins on clay courts throughout the circuit with 133, ahead of names like Alcaraz, Zverev, or Tsitsipas. A true clay court specialist.

Daniil Medvedev had to work hard to overcome Fabian Marozsan in a 6-2, (3)6-7, 6-4 victory in his debut at the Mutua Madrid Open. The Russian seemed to have the match completely under control after dominating the first set and taking a break lead in the second, but a moment of disconnection led him to lose that set in a tie-break. Medvedev regained control in the third set and eventually secured a hard-fought win in a tournament where he has reached the quarterfinals in the last two editions. In the third round, he will face the surprising Budkov Kjaer.
