Djokovic, who hoisted the singles trophy in 2011 and 2016, has an excellent 23-7 win-loss record at the event. Not to be denied, 2014 finalist Nishikori has a splendid 16-5 win-loss record in Madrid, having reached the quarter-finals or better for the last five years. Nishikori won two of their first three meetings, but since the Japanese player s upset win over Djokovic in the 2014 U.S. Open semi-finals, the Serb has reeled off ten straight wins, including in the semi-finals here in 2016. Preceding Djokovic and Nishikori on Manolo Santana Court will be the all-french affair between No. 15 seed Lucas Pouille and Benoit Paire. Pouille has emerged victorious in all three of their Tourlevel encounters, including a quarter-final win earlier this year at Montpellier, en route to Pouille s only singles title of the year up to this point. Three other Frenchmen are also in first-round action on Monday: Gael Monfils meets qualifier Nikoloz Basilashvili of Georgia, Adrian Mannarino takes on No. 13 seed Diego Schwartzman of Argentina, and Julien Benneteau battles Damir Dzumhur of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Two Spaniards will feature in the night match in the Spanish capital when Feliciano Lopez squares off against wild card Pablo Andujar. By taking the court, 36-year-old Lopez will maintain his feat of having played in every edition of the Mutua Madrid Open; this will be his 17th appearance, and he has reached the quarter-finals four times. Meanwhile, Andujar is enjoying a career resurgence as he rebounds from injury problems. Having dipped as low as No. 1824 in February, Andujar is already back into the Top 150, significantly due to winning the Marrakech title last month. Ranked No. 355 at the time, Andujar became the lowest-ranked player to win a singles title since 1998. Monday s docket also has two-time Madrid quarter-finalist Milos Raonic of Canada playing Argentine qualifier Nicolas Kicker, Russian Karen Khachanov meeting Serbian qualifier Dusan Lajovic, wild card Roberto Carballes Baena of Spain facing qualifier Mikhail Kukushkin of Kazakhstan, and Germany s Mischa Zverev up against qualifier Federico Delbonis of Argentina.

MUTUA MADRID OPEN: PREVIEW & DAY 1 MEDIA NOTES Sunday, 6 May 2018 Caja Magica Madrid, Spain 6-13 May 2018 Draw: S-56, D-24 Prize Money: 6,200,860 Surface: Clay ATP World Tour Info Tournament Info ATP PR & Marketing ATPWorldTour.com Madrid-Open.com Maria Garcia-Planas: mgarcia@atpworldtour.com Twitter: @ATPWorldTour @MutuaMadridOpen Press Room: comunicacion@madrid-open.com Facebook: @ATPWorldTour @MutuaMadridOpen TV & Radio: TennisTV.com 10 THINGS TO WATCH IN MADRID 1) Fantastic Field: Monte-Carlo champion Rafael Nadal headlines a Madrid field that features 17 of the Top 20 players. Seven different men have captured the last seven ATP Masters 1000 titles for the first time since 2009 Montreal through 2010 Monte-Carlo. Not since 2001 Hamburg through 2002 Monte-Carlo have eight different players won eight ATP Masters 1000 events in succession. 2) One of a Kind: Nadal has won 19 matches and 46 sets in a row on clay, including his 10th Roland Garros, 11th Monte-Carlo and 11th Barcelona titles. The Spaniard s 46-set streak is an Open Era record on clay and three shy of the mark on any surface, set by John McEnroe on carpet in 1984. 3) Spaniard s Standards: Nadal is 401-35 on clay with an ATP-best win percentage of 0.920. Since Madrid moved to clay in 2009, Nadal is 34-5 at Caja Magica (0.872). He s won five Madrid titles overall, including his only indoor hard-court championship in 2005. Nadal needs a sixth Madrid title this week to remain World No. 1. Otherwise, Roger Federer will return to the top spot on 14 May. 4) No. 1 Contender: World No. 6 Juan Martin del Potro returns to the tour this week for the first time since John Isner ended his 15-match win streak in the Miami semi-finals on 30 March. The Argentine is 21-4 this season, highlighted by his first ATP Masters 1000 title at Indian Wells. Del Potro has not reached a clay-court semi-final since doing so on the blue clay at 2012 Madrid. 5) Comeback Trail: Two-time Madrid champion Novak Djokovic is 5-5 in 2018 as he continues his comeback from a right elbow injury. Djokovic remains responsible for 20% of Nadal s losses on clay, earning the first of seven clay-court victories over his Spanish rival in the 2011 Madrid final. 6) Close Calls: Djokovic will meet 2014 Madrid finalist Kei Nishikori in the first round. Nishikori is 0-4 lifetime in ATP Masters 1000 finals. While Mardy Fish also went 0-4 in ATP Masters 1000 finals, only former World No. 1 Yevgeny Kafelnikov played more finals without a title at this level (0-5). 7) Mastering 1000s: World No. 3 Alexander Zverev won ATP Masters 1000 titles in Rome and Montreal, then reached another final in Miami, all before his 21st birthday on 20 April. The #NextGenATP superstar beat Djokovic for the Rome title and Federer for the Montreal title in 2017. 8) Greek Freak: Zverev could face fellow #NextGenATP player Stefanos Tsitsipas in the second round. Tsitsipas, a former World No. 1 junior like Zverev, broke into the Top 50 of the ATP Rankings after reaching his first final at Barcelona. He was rewarded with a wild card into Madrid. 9) Los Madrileños: Familiar faces Feliciano Lopez and Fernando Verdasco are also in the draw. Lopez has played in all 17 editions of the Mutua Madrid Open, while Verdasco only missed the first. Verdasco is one win shy of 500 victories for his career. Lopez is not far behind with 462 wins. 10) 40-Love: Bob and Mike Bryan, who turned 40 on 29 April, have reached all three ATP Masters 1000 doubles finals thus far this season. They ve won 16 of their last 18 ATP Masters 1000 finals overall, including Miami and Monte-Carlo in 2018. The Bryans are five-time Madrid champions.
