–

The switch gets flipped in a hurry as on Sunday, it was the men’s final in Madrid.

The next day, the whole extended Masters 1000 schedule starts all over again with the first round of qualifying in Rome.

The format for this one has both the men and women starting on the Monday. Which is a good choice.

There are some quality players in the field, too – Richard Gasquet, Brandon Nakashima and Diego Schwartzman – who announced on the weekend that he would be calling it a career early next year on the South American clay circuit at home in Argentina.
