Overview
- Francisco Cerúndolo and Alexander Zverev will face off in the fourth match of the day at Estadio Manolo Santana, with live coverage on Disney+ and ESPN.
- The match was rescheduled due to a widespread power outage that disrupted Monday’s play across Spain, Portugal, and France.
- Cerúndolo, seeded 21st, leads the head-to-head series 2–0 and has a tour-leading 14 clay-court wins this season.
- Zverev, the world No. 2 and two-time Madrid champion, is the tournament favorite after Djokovic’s early exit and the absences of Alcaraz and Sinner.
- The winner will advance to the quarterfinals to face Jakub Mensik, who defeated Alexander Bublik in straight sets.
