The Mutua Madrid Open expands to become a two-week tournament

The Mutua Madrid Open announced on Wednesday that as from 2021, it will be a
two-week tournament. The extension reaffirms the spirit of growth at the onlycombined ATP Masters 1000 and WTA Premier Mandatory to be played in Europe.
The news means that next season the Mutua Madrid Open will take place from 27April to 9 May in the Caja Mágica.

"We're happy to have achieved the goal of becoming a two-week tournament",
said Feliciano López, director of the Mutua Madrid Open. "We sought this
expansion and it is well-deserved, necessary and will allow us to enjoy the
best tennis in the world at the Caja Mágica for a few more days. I'm sure
that both our sponsors and all the fans will welcome this news with open
arms, as well as the city of Madrid, which will receive more visitors for a
longer period of time".

"The Mutua Madrid Open is held in incredibly high regard across the tennis
community", said Steve Simon, WTA Chairman and CEO. "This two-week format
will allow the Madrid organizers to showcase this world-class event in the
beautiful city of Madrid as truly one of the premier events on the WTA Tour
and within the sport of tennis".

"It's fantastic how much the tournament has grown since 2002, when we
played its first edition at Casa de Campo", remembered Manolo Santana, the
Mutua Madrid Open's honorary president. "The two weeks of competition we'
ll have as from next year will help us become one of the most important
events on the calendar".

As part of the European indoor hard-court swing at the end of the season, theMutua Madrid Open was first played as an ATP Masters 1000 event in 2002. In
2009, the tournament underwent the biggest growth in its history when it
moved to the Caja Mágica, changed surfaces to clay and became a combined
event with the addition of the women's WTA Premier Mandatory competition.
Starting next season, the Mutua Madrid Open will take another step forward asit becomes a two-week event.

2021 起馬德里將改制成兩週,04/27-05/09 舉辦。

In 2021, the Mutua Madrid Open will start on Tuesday 27 April with the WTA
qualifying round, while the first round of the main draw in the women’s
tournament will take place on Thursday 29. The ATP qualifiers will begin on
Saturday 1 May, with the first round starting on Sunday 2.

不過這賽事今年都因疫情取消了,明年會舉辦嗎?

有趣的是,看起來只有女子巡迴賽延成兩週,男子沒有變動。

女子會外週二、會內週四開打。
男子會外週六、會內週日開打。

而且這賽事對女子巡迴其實不太友善,Steve Simon 現在是只會在新聞稿發賀文嗎?

還是因疫情女子該週根本沒有比賽?

todd0101 11/26 07:05感覺只是先搶位置而已,打兩週要大家先來隔離

rainww25 11/26 17:58不太懂,又沒大滿貫的籤表,打兩周要幹嘛

todd0101 11/26 18:07先講先贏的概念

iamshana 11/27 23:32還以為籤表會變得跟印地安泉邁阿密一樣多
