The Madrid Masters 1000 is about to take the stage, with Jannik Sinner starting as the number 1 seed, due to Novak Djokovic's withdrawal. The South Tyrolean will begin the tournament from the second round where he could face Sonego in an all-Italian derby. The number 2 seed will be Carlos Alcaraz, the holder of the title in the Spanish capital.
There are 5 Italians in the Madrid Open draw besides Sinner: Lorenzo Sonego, Lorenzo Musetti, Matteo Arnaldi, Flavio Cobolli, and Luciano Darderi. Musetti will debut in the second round against the winner between Safiullin and Seyboth Wild. Arnaldi will face Christopher O'Connell in the first round and, with a win, Daniil Medvedev in the second (in Rafa Nadal's section). Cobolli, after his match against Nadal in Barcelona, will start in Madrid against Alejandro Tabilo. A very fascinating match will be between Darderi and the veteran Gael Monfils.
Matteo Berrettini has withdrawn due to tonsillitis. The Roman tennis player will prepare for the Rome Internationals, an event he does not want to miss.
