David Ferrer has played the Madrid Open 16 straight years.
That streak ends next week, but for a very good reason.
Ferrer’s awaited bundle of joy arrived Friday, as wife Marta gave birth to a son.
The name? Leo.
That’s the third tennis baby named Leo in recent years.
As it happens, baby Leo Azarenka-McKeague is in Madrid with his mom.
Feels like a Leo Ferrer/Leo Azarenka-McKeague wild card into the men’s doubles would be about right, 20 years or so down the road – to face grizzled veterans Leo and Lenny Federer in the first round.
