Watch Madrid Open 2026 live streams, as La Caja Mágica in the Spanish capital hosts the biggest names in men's and women's tennis for one of the most prestigious clay court tournaments on tour. Casper Ruud and Aryna Sabalenka defend their titles, with the latter the women's favorite and new world number one Jannik Sinner expected to back up his Monte-Carlo title in the men's event.

With Sinner the overwhelming favorite, Alexander Zverev will hope to make the final as he's now in the other half of the draw to the Italian top seed. Lorenzo Musetti has the game for clay, as does Alex De Minaur, while Arthur Fils has recovered from his injury woes at the end of last season to pick up the title in Barcelona last week.

The women's draw is stacked with top talent, as Sabalenka seeks to defend her title. Elena Rybakina, the only player to beat the Belarusian on tour this year, will also be expected to go deep after winning in Stuttgart last week, with Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek making up the world top four taking to La Caja Mágica. Mirra Andreeva also has clay-court title to her name this season, in Linz, so the teenager will also be expected to challenge.
