MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

ATP Madrid – Sunday, April 27, 2025 final results

Five seeds missing as the seeds meet the seeds in the third round of the singles.

As well, three of the original teams in the doubles draw are out. And given there are other events to play this coming week and two-thirds of the singles players already out, only the cash available in a Masters 1000 allowed them to find quality alternates to take their spots.

Alexander Zverev, back on the winning track after Munich, looks to be the front runner in the field – especially after the withdrawal of Carlos Alcaraz, the knee issue that forced Holger Rune to retire in his opener and the defeat of Novak Djokovic. But he came close to going out to Davidovich Foking before struggling through.

(Madrid is six hours ahead of EDT).
