–

Bianca Andreescu made her entrance into Madrid on Arantxa Sanchez Stadium against Alison Riske, and flipped the switch on a slow start in impressive fashion.

Leylah Fernandez, who faced qualifier Andrea Petkovic of Germany, also came through a tough one.

And there was Naomi Osaka. And the return of Monica Puig. And lots more on a full day of first-round action.
