Alcaraz, Djokovic Placed In Same Half Of Madrid Open Draw
Roberto Bautista Agut: The stage is set for a thrilling action of the Madrid Open 2025, the ATP Masters 1000 event, as two-time champion Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic find themselves on a collision course in the same half of the draw, which took place on Monday.
Alcaraz arrives in Madrid riding a wave of momentum. The Spaniard, seeded second, claimed the Monte-Carlo title and reached the final in Barcelona earlier this month. Looking to make it a hat-trick of titles in the Spanish capital after back-to-back wins in 2022 and 2023, Alcaraz will open against either Yoshihito Nishioka or Zizou Bergs.
He could meet last year’s semi-finalist Jiri Lehecka in the third round, followed by a potential clash with Grigor Dimitrov in the fourth. The quarter-finals may pit him against sixth seed Alex de Minaur, 10th seed Lorenzo Musetti or 17th seed Stefanos Tsitsipas as per the ATP.
