–
Main draw action begins for the men, who take over the better time slots on Manolo Santana Stadium, as is typically the case in Madrid.
Notable among theose in action are Gaël Monfils and … well, a lot of Spaniards.
Two lucky losers made the cut for the main draw but No. 3 seed Gabriel Diallo, who was a higher seed than either of them, was the odd man out.
