–

While the women wrap up qualifying and also start the first round of the main draw, the men are qualifying only on this second day of the Mutua Madrid Open.

Among the players to look out for were young French up-and-comer Arthur Fils (his countryman Luca Van Assche, who impressed in Banja Luka, went out in the first round. And in the end, so did Fils)

Also on tap is a not-so-young Frenchman, Benoit Paire, who came back from the abyss in his first round and lived to play another day. And came back from the abyss again.
