ATP Masters 1000 Madrid, outdoor clay-courts (7-14 May 2017) Mutua Madrid Open will once again welcome the best players of the World. Novak Djokovic will defend his title from last year's finalist Andy Murray. Both players will try to win their third title in the spanish event.

Rafael Nadal, who won four titles in Madrid (three on clay in 2014, 2013, 2010 and one on hard-courts in 2005), will obviously play there as well, while the big news is Roger Federer's presence. The fact that the Swiss player, who won 2006, 2009, 2012, is in the entry list is important, because he could have skipped the event as per ATP Rules that allow players to miss three Masters 1000 events per year.

Anyway, in order to be sure that Federer will play in Spain, we will have to wait him to release his official clay-courts season schedule after the Miami event. World No. 44 Bernard Tomic is the last player to enter directly in the main draw, British Kyle Edmund is the first alternate.
