The world's top tennis stars gathered at the Bernabéu for a unique event marking the inauguration of the first Mutua Madrid Open court installed in one of the most iconic venues in the world.
On the court, athletes shared a training session where play and spectacle took center stage. The event featured Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez, along with Real Madrid players Jude Bellingham, Thibaut Courtois, and Linda Caicedo. They all served as exceptional hosts to Rafael Nadal, honorary member of Real Madrid; world number one Jannik Sinner, and Iga Świątek, a leading figure in women's tennis.
The event was also attended by Feliciano López and Garbiñe Muguruza, co-directors of the Madrid Open, Gerard Tsobanian, CEO of the Spanish Masters 1000, and Andrea Gaudenzi, ATP president.
Amidst backhands and drop shots, the stars rallied on the clay court and seized the opportunity to capture an unforgettable moment in an iconic setting, which concluded with an exchange of signed jerseys and rackets.
The court will remain operational from April 23 to 30, during which ATP and WTA circuit players will be able to prepare for the tournament in an environment tailored to the demands of competition, under conditions identical to those at the Caja Mágica.
With this initiative, the Bernabéu reinforces its role as a versatile venue of international renown. Its integration within the Mutua Madrid Open experience paves the way for new ways of enjoying tennis in a unique setting, combining sport, innovation, and spectacle.
