TheMadrid Open (Spanish:Masters de Madrid; formerly known as theMadrid Masters, and currently known as theMutua Madrid Open forsponsorship reasons) is an annual professionaltennis tournament held inMadrid, Spain. It is played onclay courts at theCaja Mágica inManzanares Park,San Fermín, and is held in late April and early May. The tournament is anATP Masters 1000 event on theATP Tour and aWTA 1000 event on theWTA Tour. The tournament is traditionally played on a red clay surface, though it was played on blue clay courts in 2012.[1]
Ion Țiriac, a Romanian billionaire businessman and formerATP professional, was the owner of the tournament between 2009 and 2021.[2] According toDigi Sport which interviewed Țiriac in 2019, the tournament brings to the city of Madrid annual benefits exceeding €107 million.[3] In 2021, Țiriac sold the tournament to New York–basedIMG for approximately €390 million.
From its inauguration as a men's only event in 2002, the tournament was classified as one of theATP Masters Series tournaments, where it replaced the now-defunctEurocard Open inStuttgart. It was held in theMadrid Arena from 2002 to 2008, as the first of two Master's indoor hard court late-season events that preceded the ATP Tour Finals (also indoors). It was replaced on the Masters schedule by theShanghai Masters after the 2008 season. In 2009, the tournament was reborn under new ownership with a new location, new surface, and a new time slot. It expanded to include a premier women's contest (replacing thetournament in Berlin) and shifted to an earlier period of the tennis season to become the second Master's tournament of the spring European clay-court swing (replacing theHamburg Open). The event moved outdoors to Park Manzanares, where a new complex with a retractable-roof equipped main court was constructed, theCaja Magica.
Țiriac announced in April 2019 that he had extended his sponsorship contract of the Mutua Madrid Open for 10 additional years, until 2031.[4] Because he has agreed to continue in Madrid, Țiriac will receive more than 30 million euros from the city of Madrid in the coming years.[3]Feliciano López was announced as the Madrid tournament director, commencing 2019.[5]
Starting in 2021, the women's tournament, part of the WTA tour, expanded to become a two-week tournament.[6]By December of the same year, it was announced that Tiriac sold the event to IMG, which is now the new organizer and has already planned an expansion of courts, including a new stadium for over 10,000 people, to be built by partly draining the lake circling Caja Magica.[7]
In June 2022, ATP announced some changes to the ATP calendar for the coming year. The ATP Masters 1000 event in Madrid along with those in Shanghai and in Rome would now be held over two weeks starting in2023, thus becoming 12 day events just like the Masters 1000 events in Indian Wells and Miami.[8]
Țiriac proposed and implemented a new color of blue clay for all the courts' surfaces in 2012, motivating that it would supposedly be better visually, especially for viewers on television (analogous to some hardcourt surface events migrating to blue from various previous color schemes). Some speculated that the adaptation of blue colour was a nod to the titular sponsor of the tournament, the Spanish insurance giant Mutua Madrileña. This controversial change was subsequently granted and began to be used in the 2012 edition of the tournament.[9] In 2009 one of the outer tennis courts had already been made of the new surface for the players to test it.Manuel Santana, the Open's director, had assured that aside from the colour, the surface kept the same properties as the traditional red clay.[10]
On 1 December 2011, Țiriac confirmed that the blue clay surface was officially approved for the 2012 edition of the tournament, in both the ATP and WTA circuits.[11]
However, after the event took place in 2012, threats of future boycotts from some players, especiallyRafael Nadal andNovak Djokovic (who both lost on the blue surface), led the tournament to return to the traditional red clay for the 2013 season.[12] This was due to the blue clay being more slippery than regular clay.[13]
Roger Federer is the only male player to win the tournament on three different surfaces: hard courts (2006), red clay (2009), and blue clay (2012).Serena Williams is the only female player to win the tournament on two different surfaces: blue clay (2012) and red clay (2013).
