The Madrid Open is back and underway on the red clay courts at the Caja Mágica in Manzanares Park. It’s day 4 of this ATP Masters 100o and WTA 1000 tournament, and the tennis community will be treated to some entertaining second-round matches featuring the likes of Rafael Nadal, Coco Gauff, Jannik Sinner, and others. However, fans’ eagerness to witness these big guns on the red clay might now turn into disappointment due to the weather conditions in the capital city of Spain.

In concerning news for both participants and fans, there is an 80% chance of rain on day 4 in Madrid, i.e., April 27. According to AccuWeather‘s weather forecast, the likelihood of a few showers is very high during the day. Even the renowned tennis journalist Jose Morgado recently shared glimpses of the weather conditions in Madrid. He tweeted, “About to leave the hotel on my way to the club but it’s raining in Madrid. We won’t have much play outside the three main courts (all have roofs) in these first hours…”

In the event of rain, the likes of Nadal, Gauff, Sinner, and other participants will have to wait for the weather conditions to improve. Amidst all the concerns surrounding the weather conditions in Madrid, Morgado has now provided a positive update for fans. He stated, “Play is starting on the outside courts. Only 30 minutes later than scheduled. Forecast is good for the rest of the day.”

While there is a lot of skepticism about the scheduling of the play, let’s take a look at the match preview for some high-profile showdowns featuring Nadal, Gauff, and Sinner.
