Top contenders for the title could already meet formidable opponents in the third round, with players like Berrettini, Shapovalov, or Davidovich posing real threats in a potential clash at that stage. It's striking to see names like Tsitsipas and Auger-Aliassime outside the top 16 seeds, leading them to a challenging path if they aim to reach the final rounds.
Among the potential opponents for Alcaraz, Zverev, and Djokovic in the round of 16, the danger of Fils and Ruud stands out, two established specialists on clay courts, along with Dimitrov who typically performs well in Madrid. Tiafoe appears to be the weakest opponent, at least on paper. Looking ahead to the quarterfinals, it's not easy to imagine Draper, Rublev, or even De Miñaur making the most of their status and advancing to that round, with alternatives like Medvedev, Musetti, or Shelton in the mix. Much to discover in the coming weeks at the Mutua Madrid Open 2025.
