The Madrid singles draw is set to feature 13 American women, including third-seeded Gauff, wild card Amanda Anisimova, and Danielle Collins. Gauff will face Arantxa Rus in her opening match, with the possibility of facing Anisimova in a last-16 match against Naomi Osaka. Sabalenka, a two-time champion in Madrid, will meet either Magda Linette or Elisabetta Cocciaretto in her first match, with Collins as a potential last-16 opponent.
Despite having a strong season record of 19-6, Gauff has only won three times in Madrid. Her best result in the Spanish capital was reaching the last 16 in 2022. On the other hand, Sabalenka has had notable victories in Madrid, including wins over Iga Swiatek and Ashleigh Barty in the finals of 2021 and 2022 respectively. Gauff achieved a career-high ranking of world No. 3 following her victory at the 2023 US Open where she defeated Sabalenka to claim her first Grand Slam singles title.
