Madrid Open Men’s Singles predictions

George Patten: The 2024 Madrid Open was one of the wildest tournaments in recent memory, as Andrey Rublev knocked out two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz on his way to victory, with several players dropping out due to injuries throughout. Having lost five of his last seven matches, few would pick Rublev to defend his title in 2025, but the man whom he beat in last year’s quarterfinal could well be the favorite to return to winning ways in the Spanish capital. Alcaraz has reached two finals in his two clay-court tournaments this year, and provided his health allows him to compete, you wouldn’t bet against him reaching a third in Madrid.

Matthew Johns: The men’s event is difficult to predict, with Alcaraz appearing not to be 100% physically at the moment. Alexander Zverev feels like the most obvious choice out of the remaining top players. He has won Madrid before and will be coming in with some confidence after winning the title in Munich last week.

Peter Lynch: Spanish players have won the title eight times since the inaugural edition in 2002, and I think Alcaraz, albeit the obvious choice, is capable of continuing that success this year.

Lee Clarke: I will go for Zverev to claim another title after his win in Munich. I might be wide of the mark, but form is temporary and class is permanent, making Zverev a dangerous proposition at this event.
