Nevertheless, Gauff and Schwartzman will be seen in Madrid for the Madrid Open 2021. Djokovic was seeded first and supposed to defend his title in Madrid, but the Serbian decided to play in Belgrade later in May as a pre-event to the French Open.
Schwartzman is the seventh seed in Madrid. A good clay court player, Schwartzman is expected to perform much better than his earlier results in 2021.
Moving over to Gauff, she sees a tough challenge in the first round itself against former World No.1 Karolina Pliskova. On the clay, Gauff is still inexperienced, yet given her age, she should learn quickly and make inroads in elite tournaments like that of Madrid Open.
