Jack Draper made it to the round of 16 at the Madrid Open. Opponent Matteo Berrettini retired injured after Draper won the first set. Play was suspended due to a power cut and resumed later. Earlier, Grigor Dimitrov beat Jacob Fearnley. There were other notable matches and upsets too.

World number 16 Dimitrov had a tough time but eventually won. Alexander Zverev, the men's top seed, was beaten by Francisco Cerundolo. Defending women's champion Iga Swiatek had a challenging win.

Aryna Sabalenka also advanced to the last eight.
