The second round continues on the men's side, while the women are set for their third-round matches on Day 5 of the 2024 Madrid Open.
Rafael Nadal and Alex de Minaur face in a re-match of their Barcelona Open second-round showdown. The Spaniard will be keen to avenge that loss and continue what could be his final hurrah in Madrid.
Top seeds Iga Swiatek and Jannik Sinner will take the court on Saturday as well. Casper Ruud, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Daniil Medvedev will be in action on the men's side too.
Coco Gauff began her quest for a maiden title at the venue with a 6-0, 6-0 beatdown of Arantxa Rus. She's due to take on Dayana Yastremska in the third round.
