Venus Williams is still alive! In doubles with Katie Boulter, as they take on the tricky and somewhat unlikely pair of Hsieh Su-Wei and Sofia Kenin.

And Simone Bolelli, a top doubles player with countryman Andrea Vavassori, is back after missing a couple of tournaments following the untimely death of his father.

(Madrid is six hours ahead of EDT)
