Venue Logistics & Court Expectations

The Mutua Madrid Open is famous for its unique “Day and Night” session structure starting on April 24th. This allows fans to enjoy the cool Madrid evening air while watching high-intensity matches under the lights.

  • Manolo Santana Stadium: The crown jewel of the Caja Mágica. Expect the top-seeded players and the biggest matches here. Night sessions typically begin around 8:00pm.
  • Arantxa Sánchez Court: Hosts a mix of top-tier singles and doubles matches. Most sessions here wrap up by 9:00pm or 10:00pm.
  • Courts 3-8: These are the “engine room” of the first week. With up to 48 matches happening across the grounds on the first Monday, these courts offer an intimate look at the grind of professional tennis.

Pro-Tips for Attendees

  • Arrival: Doors usually open 60 to 90 minutes before the first match. Arrive early for the Tuesday and Wednesday sessions to catch players warming up on the practice courts.
  • The Finish Line: While the day session usually wraps by 5:30pm, night sessions in Madrid are famous for running late—sometimes finishing around midnight.
