History

The Madrid Open was first played at the Madrid Arena back in 2002 and was initially played on hard-courts and featured only male players.

In 2009, though, that changed as it moved to La Caja Magica and became not only a clay-court tournament but a combined ATP-WTA event.

It is played on red clay courts, although a blue clay court was trialled back in 2012.

The blue court did not go down well and after complaints from players such as Rafael Nadal and Djokovic and the previous red surface returned the following year.
