Madrid Open 2026 Day One Summary

The opening day of the Madrid Open is rarely the main event these days, and 2026 followed that script. With all 32 seeds receiving byes in the extended two-week Masters 1000 format, Day One of the round of 128 was more about qualifiers, lucky losers and lower-ranked players fighting for a shot at the big names.

That doesn’t mean there weren’t some notable results. Dino Prizmic took the outstanding win of the day by beating former finalist Matteo Berrettini in straight sets, while veterans like Marin Čilić reminded everyone that they still have a performance or two in them

For most, though, it was about survival, getting through and earning the right to face the seeds in round two. Full results and highlights below.

Summary of the match

Dino Prizmic (Q) def. Matteo Berrettini 6-3 6-4

Biggest story of the day. The 20-year-old Croatian qualifier delivered a high-quality, confident performance at the Manolo Santana Stadium to defeat the former No. 6 and 2021 finalist in Madrid.

Prizmic served brilliantly to claim just his second ATP Masters 1000 main draw win. He now faces in-form fourth seed Ben Shelton in the second round, a tough test after three matches in three days.

Marin Čilić def. Zizou Berg 4-6 6-3 6-4

The veteran former World No. 3 and the 2014 US Open champion rallied from a set down in a competitive match.

This was Čilić’s first win in Madrid since 2022, and he sets up an exciting matchup next round against rising 27th seed and NextGen star João Fonseca.

Thiago Tirante def. Roberto Bautista Agut 6-2 6-4

A clean and convincing win by the Argentine over the Spanish veteran and home favorite. Tirante looked sharp and dominant throughout, and even a top-notch RBA was never really a factor on clay.

Tomás Machac def. Francisco Comesana 3-6 7-6(3) 6-3

Machac bounced back well after dropping the first set. A solid three-set gate for the higher-ranked Czech, as Comesana had a decent serving day.

Rafael Jodar (WC) def. Jesper de Jong 2-6 7-5 6-4

A strong home debut for the 19-year-old Spanish wildcard. Jodar lost the first set badly but showed excellent fighting spirit and mental toughness to rally and claim his first ever Mutua Madrid Open victory in front of a passionate crowd. He faces 5th seed Alex de Minaur next.
