The event, organized by Mutua Madrileña in collaboration with the City Council, will take place from today until May 3 at the Caja Mágica. During the presentation, the mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, highlighted the tournament's importance, calling it “the biggest sporting event” in the city.
“"It has allowed us to position ourselves in the world of sports in general, opening a window of the city to the world. It is the sporting event we are most proud of and that best represents us."
The mayor emphasized Madrid's “very special bond” with this competition and stated that the city “lives sports from the grassroots to the sky,” committing to fully support the tournament, considered “one of the best in the world.”
The Mutua Madrid Open brings together the elite of world tennis for two weeks, with prominent figures such as Sinner, Zverev, and Ruud in the men's category, and Sabalenka, Rybakina, Swiatek, and Gauff in the women's. All of them will compete on the clay courts of the Caja Mágica.
The tournament's impact on the city is significant. The 2025 edition broke records with 345,000 spectators, and this edition is expected to attract a large audience and generate an economic impact of 250 million euros. Additionally, 3,400 jobs are anticipated to be created, and the event will be broadcast in 180 countries, reaching 140 million viewers.
Since its inception in Madrid in 2002, the Mutua Madrid Open has established itself as a key event within the ATP Masters 1000, on par with tournaments like Indian Wells or Miami. Its continuity is secured thanks to an agreement signed in September 2021 between the City Council and Madrid Trophy Promotion, guaranteeing the use of the Caja Mágica facilities until 2030.
