Madrid Open - Day 6 (Round 3)

Day 6: The First Tournament Weekend Brings the Top 10 Together

On 24 April 2027, round three begins – marking the first weekend of the tournament, when several top-10 players from both tours traditionally take to the courts on the same day.

Weekend Atmosphere at the Caja Mágica

Weekend days are among the liveliest sessions of the whole tournament: full stands, a packed schedule across every court, and an atmosphere that goes well beyond the tennis itself. Round three also marks the point where the field narrows toward the 16 remaining players per tour.

Why Round Three Matters

Surviving round three secures a place in the round of 16 – an important milestone for many players in terms of both ranking points and prize money.

Madrid Tip: Mercado San Miguel

Use the weekend for a detour to Mercado San Miguel near Plaza Mayor – the historic market hall lined with tapas stalls is perfect for a break between matches.

• The first tournament weekend with a packed schedule
• Several top-10 players from both tours in action on the same day
