Last year this event featured four top 12 seeded players in the semifinals, with Iga Swiatek toppling Veronika Kudermetova and eventual champion Aryna Sabalenka defeating Maria Sakkari.
This tournament is a preview for the next Grand Slam on the schedule, which is just one month away. After this event the WTA has three more tournaments between now and the French Open, which is the only tournament of the four played on a clay surface. The Mutua Madrid Open and the next three tournaments are all played on clay leading into the Grand Slam.
The Mutua Madrid Open has been on the WTA calendar since 2009 with this serving as the 15th playing of the event. Sabalenka is one of four to win multiple times, joining Serena Williams (2012, 2013), Simona Halep (2016, 2017) and Petra Kvitova (2011, 2015, 2018). She begins her championship defense and chase for a third win in this tournament on Thursday after a first round bye.
