Who won the Madrid Open in 2025?
Men’s singles final result
- Champion: Casper Ruud defeated Jack Draper 7–5, 3–6, 6–4 on May 5, 2025 (Wikipedia – 2025 Mutua Madrid Open).
- The match, played at Caja Mágica in Madrid, Spain, saw Ruud rally after losing the second set to close out his first Madrid Open title in three sets.
- Ruud’s victory marked his third ATP Masters 1000 title and his first on clay at this level (ATP Tour Official – prize money announcement).
Women’s singles result overview
- Champion: Aryna Sabalenka defeated Coco Gauff 6–3, 7–6(3) on May 4, 2025 (YouTube Tennis Coverage).
- Sabalenka’s straight-sets win earned her a second Madrid Open title, adding to her 2023 victory at the same tournament.
- Gauff, the runner-up, pushed Sabalenka to a tiebreak in the second set but could not force a decider.
Both finals produced decisive winners who have now cemented their Madrid legacy: Ruud finally breaks through on home clay for the ATP, while Sabalenka extends her dominance on the surface with a second title in three years.
The implication: Ruud’s win is his biggest clay-court title to date, and Sabalenka now has a Madrid win rate that puts her among the tournament’s elite in the Open era.
How much does the winner get for winning the Madrid Open?
Prize money breakdown for 2025
The men’s singles champion received €985,030, according to ATP Tour Official, while the women’s champion received the same amount of €985,030, per Wikipedia – 2025 Mutua Madrid Open. That’s equal pay at the top — a standard for combined ATP-WTA events at this level. The runner-up in either singles draw took home €523,870, per ATP Tour Official.
The pattern: The same top-tier prize applies to both champions, reinforcing that gender pay parity is now standard at combined events.
How does prize money compare to other ATP Masters 1000 events?
Eight ATP Masters 1000 events, one pattern: Madrid’s €985,030 winner prize places it in the upper-middle tier. Indian Wells and Miami typically offer slightly higher top payouts (above €1.1 million), while Monte Carlo and Rome fall closer to €800,000–900,000. Madrid’s combined total singles purse of €16,110,770 (approximately $18.3 million), reported by BetMGM Sports Blog, reflects its status as a premier clay-court event bridging Europe’s spring swing.
Who has won the Madrid Open the most times?
Most men’s titles: Rafael Nadal (5)
- Rafael Nadal holds the men’s record with 5 singles titles (2005, 2010, 2013, 2014, 2017), per Wikipedia – 2025 Mutua Madrid Open.
- Nadal’s five Madrid crowns make him the most decorated player in tournament history, though he did not compete in 2025.
Most women’s titles: Serena Williams and Petra Kvitová (3 each)
- Serena Williams and Petra Kvitová share the women’s record with 3 titles each (Williams: 2012, 2013, 2015; Kvitová: 2011, 2015, 2018).
- Sabalenka’s 2025 title puts her two shy of the record, with two Madrid wins (2023, 2025).
Sabalenka, at 26, has a real shot at matching or surpassing the women’s record if she continues her dominant form on clay through the next few seasons. Ruud, at 26 as well, is still five titles behind Nadal — a tall order on any surface.
The catch: While Nadal’s record seems untouchable for now, Sabalenka’s age and momentum make the women’s record a more immediate target.
Why did Carlos Alcaraz not play the 2025 Madrid Open?
Alcaraz injury and withdrawal
- Carlos Alcaraz withdrew from the 2025 Madrid Open due to injury, per Wikipedia – 2025 Mutua Madrid Open.
- He appeared at promotional events in Madrid during the tournament but did not compete.
Alcaraz’s history at the Madrid Open
- Alcaraz previously won the Madrid Open in 2022 and 2023, giving him two titles from three appearances.
- His 2022 win at age 19 made him the youngest champion in tournament history.
The implication: Alcaraz’s absence opened the door for Ruud and Draper to reach the final, altering the dynamic of the draw.
How does Jack Draper’s performance at the Madrid Open compare historically?
Jack Draper runner-up finish in 2025
- Jack Draper finished as runner-up to Casper Ruud in the men’s singles final.
- This marked Draper’s first ATP Masters 1000 final appearance and his best result at any Masters event to date.
Jack Draper’s career and residence
- Draper lives in London, England, according to his ATP Tour profile.
- The 23-year-old British left-hander has been steadily climbing the rankings, with Madrid pushing him into the top 20 for the first time.
The pattern: Draper’s run signals a breakthrough for British men’s tennis, which has lacked a consistent top-20 presence since Andy Murray.

How much prize money do tennis players earn per round?
Madrid Open round-by-round prize money for men
The men’s singles round-by-round payouts at the 2025 Madrid Open, per ATP Tour Official – prize money breakdown:
- Winner: €985,030
- Runner-up: €523,870
- Semifinalists: €291,040
- Quarterfinalists: €165,680
- First round losers: €12,000 (approximate reported figure for early exits)
This structure means a first-round loser still earns about 1.2% of the champion’s check — a modest but meaningful sum for lower-ranked players covering travel and coaching costs.
Prize money for women’s tournament
- Women’s singles winner: €985,030 (same as men’s champion) per Wikipedia – 2025 Mutua Madrid Open
- Women’s runner-up: €523,870 (same as men’s runner-up)
- The total women’s singles purse was €8,235,540 (approximately $9.7 million), per WTA Tennis Official.
While the winners’ checks are equal, the women’s total prize pool is about €180,000 smaller than the men’s — a difference that narrows each year but hasn’t fully closed. For players ranked outside the top 50, every round’s payout matters more than the headline figure.
The implication: The gap in total purse means that deep runs in the women’s draw are slightly less lucrative for lower-ranked players compared to the men’s draw.
