The draw for the Masters 1000 Madrid 2023 (men’s singles)
Nadal and Djokovic, major absentees from this 2023 edition
Monuments in danger? While he will celebrate his 37th birthday next June, Rafael Nadal still does not know when he will be able to return to the courts. Injured in the left leg at the start of the year, the Spaniard hoped to regain all of his sensations in less than two months. Unfortunately, after forfeiting Monte-Carlo then Barcelona, he is absent from this Masters 1000 Madrid 2023. Along with world number 1 Novak Djokovic. The Serbian, ghostly on the Rock, has just been surprised at Banja Luka, an ATP 250, and will also be conspicuous by his absence in Spain. With a big month of Roland-Garros, we can fear the worst for these two legends of world tennis.
Carlos Alcaraz has a title to defend
Absent in Monte-Carlo, the young Carlos Alcaraz, he signed a resounding return to Barcelona, retaining his title on Catalan clay. Over the next few days, the 19-year-old nugget will try to do the same. Placed in the table part of Andrey Rublev, Casper Ruud or Holger Rune, but also Ugo Humbert, whom he could face as soon as he enters the running, Alcaraz knows that he will have to fight to go to the end. Nevertheless, the combined absences of Nadal, Djokovic, Sinner or even Berrettini (finalist in 2021) open up great prospects for him.
What ambitions for Medvedev and Tsitsipas?
In the other part of the table, we find several big names like Félix Auger-Aliassime or Taylor Fritz. But it is above all Stefanos Tsitsipas and Daniil Medvedev who are the big favorites to reach the long-awaited final. The Greek has just lost in the final against Alcaraz and will want his revenge. The Russian was surprised by Holger Rune in the quarter-finals in Monte-Carlo before ignoring Barcelona. Physically fresher, he hopes to return with better intentions.
The French, leaders of the first round?
While waiting for the entry into the running of the top seeds, the first round of this Masters 1000 Madrid 2023 will be punctuated by the presence of many French people. With several 100% tricolor confrontations. The one between Chardy and Gaston should be worth the detour. Like the one between Moutet and Lestienne moreover. For his part, Humbert will play a place against the number 1 seed Carlos Alcaraz. At the same time, Barrère, Halys, Gasquet and Mannarino will have a common objective, that of reaching the second round. Will they make it?
