Rafael Jodar<\/a>, Marin Cilic<\/a> and Dino Prizmic<\/a> were winners on the opening day of this year\u2019s Mutua Madrid Open<\/a> on Wednesday, while Roberto Bautista Agut<\/a> waved goodbye to the Spanish crowd following his final appearance at the event.<\/p>\n ATPTour.com looks back at the biggest Wednesday stories through video.<\/p>\n Spanish star Jodar lifted the roof on Wednesday in Madrid, where he battled past Jesper de Jong<\/a> 2-6, 7-5, 6-4 to earn victory on his tournament debut. The 19-year-old lifted his first ATP Tour trophy in Marrakech earlier this month and then reached the semi-finals at the ATP 500 in Barcelona.<\/p>\n The wild card was outside the Top 600 just 12 months ago but is now at a career-high No. 42.\u00a0<\/p>\n Real Madrid star and football idol Jude Bellingham cheered on Jodar in Madrid on Wednesday. Jodar and Bellingham had a brief chat on Wednesday and then posed for a photo together.<\/p>\n Bautista Agut competed for the last time in Madrid and received a presentation from the tournament<\/a>.\u00a0Thiago Agustin Tirante<\/a> overcame the Spaniard 6-2, 6-4, but Bautista Agut produced a final moment of magic in the second set to the delight of the home crowd on Manolo Santana Stadium. The 38-year-old’s best result at the ATP Masters 1000 event came in 2014 when he reached the semi-finals.<\/p>\n Cilic earned his first win in Madrid since 2022 when he battled past Zizou Bergs<\/a> 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 to set an exciting second-round match against #NextGenATP star Joao Fonseca<\/a>. Cilic, a quarter-finalist in the Spanish capital in 2019, made his tournament debut in 2008, just two years after Fonseca, 19, was born.<\/p>\n Dino Prizmic<\/a> earned a big win, defeating former Top 10 star Matteo Berrettini<\/a>. The Croatian, who competed at the 2025 Next Gen ATP Finals, produced many fun moments on court, including this tweener in the closing stages of the second set.<\/p>\n Shortly after, the 20-year-old sealed just his second ATP main draw victory and set a second-round clash with fourth-seeded American Ben Shelton<\/a>. Qualifier Prizmic is competing at a career-high No. 87 in the PIF ATP Rankings this week.<\/p>\n Tomas Machac<\/a> was an opening-day winner in the Spanish capital, overcoming Francisco Comesana<\/a> 3-6, 7-6(3), 6-3 to maintain his good recent form. The Czech advanced to the fourth round earlier this month in Monte-Carlo, where he ended Jannik Sinner<\/a>‘s 37-set streak at Masters 1000 events.\u00a0<\/p>\n Hubert Hurkacz<\/a> also advanced, defeating Portuguese qualifier Jaime Faria<\/a> 6-3, 6-3. Hurkacz, who reached the quarter-finals in Madrid in 2022, has struggled to find his best form this year. The Pole is 8-8 on the season, according to the Infosys ATP Win\/Loss Index. Hurkacz did miss the final five months of last year due to injury.<\/p>\n![\"\u201cATP](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/atp-fantasy-article-banner.jpg\")
