Nadal Takes Momentum Into Madrid; All You Need to Know

The 2021 Mutua Madrid Open returns to the calendar this year after a COVID-19-related hiatus in 2020. The ATP Masters 1000 field features eight of the Top 10 stars in the FedEx ATP Rankings, including Rafael Nadal, Daniil Medvedev, Dominic Thiem and Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Nadal enters with a record five Madrid titles and a recent 12th crown in Barcelona, while Tsitsipas carries momentum after capturing his first ATP Masters 1000 championship in Monte-Carlo and a run to the final in Barcelona. Medvedev will be making his clay-court season debut. The Russian has not played since losing in the Miami quarter-finals to Roberto Bautista Agut.
