Here's what you need to know about the clay season's first WTA 1000 tournament: When does the tournament start?

Madrid is set for a high-octane 10 days of action. With a loaded field that includes Spain's top-ranked player, World No.2 Paula Badosa and former No.1s Naomi Osaka and Simona Halep. He was obviously angry, not with me but with the game.The Hologic WTA Tour heads to the Mutua Madrid Open for the first in a pair of back-to-back WTA 1000 events on European red clay. The next time we see each other we will shake hands definitely. His reaction for sure, like mine, was not so cool. On Diego Simeone’s snub at the end of the game: “We don’t like that but yes the situation is clear,” he says. Honestly, how we win it? I couldn’t care less! On a night like this, getting three points is really nice.” The red card was for sure unlucky but it is a red card. I think the other one is not a penalty but I didn’t expect it. On the penalty decisions: “I saw them and our penalty is a penalty. The game was too slow and that was what they wanted. Then they came with wing-backs and midfielders and we stayed there instead of accelerating. We chose the easy pass but we needed to play between the lines. On letting Atletico back into the game at 2-0 up: “They just won the balls and we didn’t do the right stuff anymore. We got the penalty, then there was a red card and obviously it was in our favour.” We played a really solid second half in a tough game with intense football from both teams. At half time I think everyone in the stadium thought it was only going one way and we thought ‘let’s give it a proper try again’.

The first goal we gave away then the second, it was nice play but the gaps we had there. “It was 2-0 then obviously Atletico are not too bothered about having possession. We scored two wonderful goals then played good football. Were we expecting them to be that defensive? Probably not. “We did surprisingly well at the beginning. “It’s a tough game we expected that,” he tells BT Sport.
