The main draw action at the 2025 Madrid Open will get underway on Tuesday (April 22). Day 1 of the 1000-level event promises to be a cracker, with Filipino teen sensation Alexandra Eala and former World No. 1 Naomi Osaka set to kick off proceedings at Caja Magica.
Alexandra Eala shocked tennis fans all over the world at last month's Miami Open as she beat Iga Swiatek, Madison Keys and Jelena Ostapenko en route to her maiden tour-level semifinals. The 19-year-old, who received a wildcard entry into the main draw of women's singles in Madrid, will face the more experienced Viktoriya Tomova in the first round.
Former World No. 1 Naomi Osaka, meanwhile, had a great start to her 2025 season in January but abdominal injury subsequently halted her momentum. While the four-time Major winner did reach the Round of 16 in Miami, she will be eager to go deeper at the Caja Magica this fortnight and possibly match her 2019 result of reaching the quarterfinals of the tournament.
On that note, let's take a look at the schedule for Day 1 of the 2025 Madrid Open:
