The 2025 Mutua Madrid Open concluded on May 4, delivering notable achievements across all categories.
MEN’S SINGLES
Casper Ruud secured his first ATP Masters 1000 title by defeating Jack Draper in a thrilling final, 7–5, 3–6, 6–4. This victory marked a significant milestone for Ruud, who had previously lost in six major finals, including three Grand Slams. With this win, he became the first Norwegian to clinch a Masters 1000 title and rose to World No. 7 in the ATP rankings. Jack Draper, despite the loss, showcased impressive progress by reaching his first clay-court Masters 1000 final. His performance throughout the tournament elevated him to a career-high ATP ranking of World No. 5.
“I’ve just played [opponents] that were better than me, and I’ve tried to learn from that, and I think that one day there will come another opportunity and maybe I can seize it and, I guess, that was the key to the victory today,” Ruud said. “Jack is an incredible player, and he will only get better and better, and I knew that based on the previous six losses that if I don’t bring my A game, I have nothing to do there on court, so that was the mentality.”
WOMEN’S SINGLES
Aryna Sabalenka triumphed over Coco Gauff with a straight-sets victory, 6–3, 7–6(7–3), securing her third Madrid Open title. This win also marked her ninth WTA 1000 title and 20th career WTA Tour title, tying her with Petra Kvitová for the most singles titles at this tournament.
By the way incredible winners Casper and Aryna receive €985,030 prize money and 1000 rankink points each for that titles.
“First, I’d like to congratulate Coco and her team for an incredible two weeks. I’m really happy to see you in a final again, playing at this level. I’m sure we’ll face each other in more finals, and I hope I win them all (laughs).
MEN’S DOUBLES
The duo of Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos defeated three highest-seeded teams and clinched the men’s doubles title by defeating Marcelo Arévalo and Mate Pavić with a scoreline of 6–4, 6–4, adding extra €400,560 prize money and 1000 ranking points. Winning the Madrid title without dropping a set en route was a belated birthday present for Argentine Zeballos, who turned 40 earlier in the tournament.
“We are really happy. It’s unbelievable to win here again,” said home favourite Granollers. “One of the biggest tournaments in the world. To do it at home, it’s so nice. Thank you to Horacio for playing that good.”
“We are like wine,” joked Zeballos. “It’s a great feeling. We beat the best teams. The level is like this. Every match is so close. You can lose in the first round, you can win the tournament. It’s so close. I’m really happy we are playing against these teams that are playing so good. It [brings] really good confidence for us.”
WOMEN’S DOUBLES
Sorana Cîrstea and Anna Kalinskaya emerged victorious in the women’s doubles final, overcoming Veronika Kudermetova and Elise Mertens. After dropping the first set in a tight tiebreak, they rallied to win 6–7(10–12), 6–2, [12–10], saving a championship point in the match tiebreak, also bringing €400,560 prize money and 1000 ranking points.
Both Cîrstea and Kalinskaya broke lengthy doubles title droughts with the win. This is Kalinskaya’s fourth WTA doubles title and her first since 2022. Cîrstea had to wait even longer for her sixth WTA doubles title – her most recent one came in 2019.
This is the first WTA 1000 title for both Cîrstea and Kalinskaya in any discipline. Both of them were contesting their first WTA 1000 finals in doubles, although they have each been WTA 1000 runners-up in singles – Cîrstea at 2013 Toronto and Kalinskaya at 2024 Dubai.
