The extension of the Madrid Open to 10 days doesn’t change things much on the men’s side.

But it does mean the women have the place to themselves – in a fashion – for the first few days, even as it eliminates the possibility of any other WTA Tour events being held this week.

Which is … what it is.

Bianca Andreescu drew Alison Riske, and Leylah Fernandez gets Daria Kasatkina when the main draw begins Thursday.

On Tuesday, the qualifying.
