ATP M1000 WTA 1000 Madrid 4/22 - 5/4 2025

[Suliso]

No, backup power is for places where having uninterrupted power is important. There are no places where power is guaranteed.

That would certainly not include a tennis tournament.

I'm not counting Djokovic out until he struggles at Roland Garros, which he might. He has been no bueno on clay except in Paris for a few years now.

He looked really good at the Aussie Open until he got hurt. That could have been the outlier and not representative, but I need to see these struggles at a slam first.

[ashkor87]

I have given up trying to figure out Sakkari so..can she beat Svitolina on clay?

[JTContinental]

She’s back with her old coach, I think, so maybe

[ashkor87]

Uchijima is evidently better than I think..about to beat Alexandrova..anyone see her play?

[ponchi101]

Very close match. Not really an indicator. The woman can play because all of them can play nowadays.
Or at least, play at that same level.

[jazzyg]

If everyone plays to their top level, I like Ruud and Musetti to reach the final.

Ruud needs to play with the proper desire. Hs has the best clay court game left but seems content with being a good but not great player.

Musetti vs. DI Minaur will be interesting. Di Minaur has been terrific recently but his forehand still can break down under pressure.

very impressed with Svitolna these days.. she really hits her forehand hard now.. her entire body weight goes into it.. something Coco should learn..

[ashkor87]

If everyone plays to their top level, I like Ruud and Musetti to reach the final.

Ruud needs to play with the proper desire. Hs has the best clay court game left but seems content with being a good but not great player.

Musetti vs. DI Minaur will be interesting. Di Minaur has been terrific recently but his forehand still can break down under pressure.

true, but
DeMinaur's serving is awesome though, that matters in these conditions.. I am betting on him to win the whole thing .

[ashkor87]

Tsitsipas Musetti was an entertaining one - always great to see two single handed backhands.. but Tsitsipas either needs to learn to volley or stop pretendng he can.. he paid the price often...

[ashkor87]

on the women's side, I really like Madison Keys' chances.. she has the kind of game (see Kvitova, 3 times) that wins Madrid.

Perfect jinx
Bageled Iga in the first set, then a routine dusting. Maddie remains Maddie.
Anyway, it is clay and Iga is still the favorite on the surface, until somebody de-thrones her at RG.

[ashkor87]

Anybody see the Gauff-Andreeva match? I wasn't expecting Coco to win so easily. ..good for her!
