The day’s proceedings featured singles and doubles action across multiple courts, with the stadium court hosting the most high-profile encounters as play progressed through the afternoon.

Among the notable players in action were top seeds Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev, both named as headline attractions for the 2026 edition in pre-tournament announcements. The draw, which was made on Monday, April 20, placed Sinner and Zverev in opposite halves of the bracket, setting up a potential semifinal clash should both advance.

The men’s doubles competition also continued on April 23, with the defending champions Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos beginning their title defense. The duo, who won the 2025 edition, were among the teams listed in the doubles draw published by the ATP Tour.

Qualifying results from the April 20-21 period determined the final entrants into the 96-player main draw. Players who successfully navigated the three-round qualifying tournament earned their place in the main draw, with lucky losers also gaining entry based on final qualifying rankings.

As of the conclusion of play on April 23, specific match results and scores were not available in the verified sources consulted.

The Mutua Madrid Open maintains its status as one of the nine ATP Masters 1000 events on the men’s calendar and a premier WTA 1000 tournament on the women’s tour. Prize money for the 2026 edition was confirmed at €8,235,540, distributed across singles and doubles competitions according to the standard ATP 1000 points allocation.

Points distribution for men’s singles followed the established ATP 1000 format: 1000 points for the champion, 650 for the runner-up, 400 for semifinalists, 200 for quarterfinalists, and progressively lower values for earlier rounds. Women’s singles awarded 650 points to the winner, 390 to the finalist, and 215 to semifinalists, reflecting the WTA 1000 structure.

Venue operations at Park Manzanares included special arrangements for player training, with reports indicating that the pitch at Real Madrid’s Bernabéu Stadium had been temporarily converted to clay courts for the first time ever to accommodate tournament participants. This initiative, first implemented in 2026, allowed players to train at an alternative venue during the event.

Tournament directors Feliciano Lopez and Garbine Muguruza oversaw the event’s execution, continuing in their roles from previous editions. Their leadership has been credited with maintaining the Madrid Open’s position as a key stop on the spring clay-court swing leading up to the French Open.

Looking ahead, the tournament schedule indicated that singles matches would continue through April 28, with adjusted start times for later rounds. The doubles final was set for May 2 at 2 p.m. Local time, followed by the singles final on May 3, not before 5 p.m. Local time (CEST, UTC+2).

For ongoing updates, fans were directed to the official ATP Tour and WTA Tennis websites, which provide live scoring, draw updates, and statistical tracking throughout the tournament’s duration.

As the Madrid Open progresses toward its conclusion, the outcomes of April 23’s matches will shape the trajectory of both the men’s and women’s draws, with quarterfinal positions beginning to capture form based on results from the opening rounds.
