Master 1000 Madrid: possible Musetti-Fognini derby. Sonego awaits a qualifier

The Madrid Masters 1000, the second on clay, the fourth of the season, will kick off on Wednesday, April 26. Missing from the event will be not only two big stars like Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, but also the two Italians Jannik Sinner, who had already had to withdraw in Barcelona due to a flu syndrome, and Matteo Berrettini, struggling with an abdominal injury.

Among the Italians competing will be Lorenzo Musetti, who will debut with the winner of the match between Peruvian Juan Pablo Varillas and a qualifier. The Carrara-based tennis player, in Casper Ruud’s side of the draw, could play a third-round derby with Fabio Fognini, who is engaged in a debut with German Oscar Otte. Finally, Lorenzo Sonego awaits a qualifier in his debut and could cross third-round Felix Auger Aliassime, the seventh seed.
