Dear players:
We are about to welcome you in Madrid for the XV edition of the Madrid Tennis Open, a GLTA event euanised by Madpoint. This year we are Masters thus, we have prepared what we want it to be a masters experience for you. We hope you will enjoy it!
The support of the Madrid’s City Hall has allowed us to lower the fees while maintaining the core of our services and even enhancing some others such as a 50 per cent discount to the girls or an enhanced transportation schedule that now covers every day of play (and also every night!!). That’s why we want to explicitly acknowledge our gratitude and to the Madrid City Hall for supporting our tournament, our sport and its values of diversity, freedom and equal rights for all.
And now…here is the Guide! You can download it here in PDF format
Please remember to like us on Facebook! All the updates will be posted there
