–
Madrid swings into full gear, as only a few singles and doubles matches were played on the Canadian side before the end of the tournament’s “first week”.
So we’ve carried over all the draws from last week.
Félix Auger-Aliassime and Denis Shapovalov don’t exactly come in on a roll, and did a little – but not a ton, in Madrid.
But Gabriela Dabrowski and partner Giuliana Olmos won their first title together as a team in the women’s doubles.

Way to go, Gabi!! Huge congrats on the win!
Thank you!
I know I’m behind the times, but when did Filip Peliwo start playing under a Polish flag?
Do you have any word on Vasek Pospisil? Is he injured?
I haven’t seen anything in the news, but I also don’t use social media, where it seems most people get their ‘news’.
Thanks for the great work you do, Stephanie.
I spoke to Peliwo a earlier this week and talked about just that.
I’ll get it up when I can.
Pospisil is injured. He’s just back on court (but not serving) – hopes to be back for the latter part of the grass season.
Is it Pospisil’s back again? I was hoping that those days were behind him.
It was his elbow, I think (but that’s from memory).
Tks for the answer. It’s not good to have any injury, but happy to hear it’s not his back.
