The Mutua Madrid Open will once again lead the way in sports and major international events with an unprecedented initiative: the installation of a clay court at the Bernabéu. This space will be available from April 23 to 30, allowing the top stars of the ATP and WTA circuits to train under the same conditions as on the courts of the Caja Mágica.
This initiative represents a historic step for the tournament, for the city of Madrid, and for the Bernabéu itself. Bringing a clay court to one of the world's most iconic venues creates a unique meeting point between tennis tradition and the universal appeal of a stadium that continues to transform to host new experiences.
“From the very first year, the Mutua Madrid Open has stood out above any other tournament on the circuit and has never stopped driving unique initiatives,” said Gerard Tsobanian, CEO of the tournament. “This year’s proposal will undoubtedly raise the bar even higher: starting a collaboration with one of the best stadiums in the world, the Bernabéu, home of Real Madrid C.F., will place the Mutua Madrid Open in a unique category, exactly where the best belong.”
The presence of a clay court at the Bernabéu not only addresses an operational need for players, who will have access to a new training space fully integrated into the dynamics of the tournament, but also projects a powerful image of Madrid as a capital capable of reinventing its major sporting venues.
Because the Bernabéu is not just a stadium; it is a symbol. Incorporating it into the universe of the Mutua Madrid Open during those days means placing tennis within one of the most recognizable landmarks of sports and entertainment worldwide. The installation of this court will undoubtedly be one of the standout images of the upcoming edition.
