Introducing: Mutua Open - Madrid

Hi everyone,

It's time for another gravel tournament and this is definitely gonna be something special!


This year Madrid opted for blue clay (you're thinking seriously?!). Venus Williams called it a fashion statement, everybody else thinks: 'Quick Bob, get the children in the minivan, because the world is obviously coming to an end!'. Nonetheless, it's a bold move and personally I like it, but let's not forget the fabulous tennis to come!

First round matches to get excited about:
- Azarenka v. Kuznetsova = my guess is Azarenka will win, but that never stopped me before enjoying two great names competing.
- Wickmayer v. Gajdosova = the Belgian is dropping spots in the world ranking, so hopefully a good tournament will put her back on track. She'll have to get past Gajdosova first, not someone to underestimate!
- Makarova v. Voskoboeva = this may not sound as a very interesting match but trust me, those two outsiders will push themselves to the limit against each other!
- Barthel v. Goerges = the Germans missed each other in Stuttgart, time to set that right!

Don't miss a moment of Madrid, stay posted!
