The No. 3 in the PIF ATP Rankings, Alcaraz is preparing for an opening match against Arthur Rinderknech or Alexander Shevchenko in Madrid, where he has won the past two editions of the event.

The record five-time champion Nadal, who made his first ATP Tour appearance since January in Barcelona last week, will step on court at the Caja Magica for the first time since 2022 on Thursday. The Mallorcan is preparing for a first-round clash against #NextGenATP American Darwin Blanch: it will be just the second tour-level match of the 16-year-old Blanch’s career.
