Djokovic finds the British again after 5 years, Jannik will deal with Augier-Aliassime, Lorenzo with Zverev. Also on the field Nadal and Alcaraz
Today in Madrid there is something for everyone. The big names and stars of Italian tennis will play, with the prospect – if both win – of a derby in the quarter-finals. Jannik Sinner and Lorenzo Musetti could face each other for the second time at ATP level after the victory of the South Tyrolean in Antwerp last October, but first there is a difficult round for both to overcome.
Simone Vagnozzi’s pupil will take the field no earlier than 5.30 pm against Felix Auger-Aliassime in a match between top seeds (Sinner is 10, the Canadian 8); Musetti will play no earlier than 3.30 pm against Sascha Zverev, number 2 in seeding. Lorenzo will try to avenge Jannik, who was eliminated in Monte Carlo in the quarter-finals by the German himself in a match pulled to the last.

The day will open with a challenge that smells of tennis history, a face to face with great charm: at 12, at the Manolo Santana, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray will face each other. The last challenge between the two dates back to 2017, in the final on concrete in Doha: 6-3 5-7 6-4 in favor of the Serbian. On the same field, in the third match (not before 4 pm), it will be the turn of another legend, Rafael Nadal: the Spaniard, after the good victory against Miomir Kecmanovic, will face David Goffin. To see Carlos Alcaraz at work we will have to wait for the evening: the Spanish baby will play against Cameron Norrie no earlier than 20, in case of victory there could be a derby with Nadal. While simultaneously with Sinner there will be the challenge between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Grigor Dimitrov.
