Three of four winners of this year’s HSBC BWF World Tour Super 300 tournaments feature in the men’s singles draw of the Madrid Spain Masters 2024 by IBERDROLA.

Sixth seed Lin Chun-Yi, who won the YONEX Swiss Open 2024 on Sunday, will face fellow lefthander Lei Lan Xi in the first round. Lin has steadily risen up the ranks and is one of the players to watch this season.

The prominent name in his quarter is his senior compatriot Chou Tien Chen, who he had beaten in Sunday’s final in a thriller. Chou won the first Super 300 of the year, the Thailand Masters in February.

The other Super 300 winner of this year in the draw is German Open winner Christo Popov, who is in the same quarter as second seed Loh Kean Yew.

In women’s singles, attention will be on Orleans Masters champion Tomoka Miyazaki, who created a sensation last week at the Swiss Open beating Pusarla V Sindhu and Aya Ohori on her way to the semifinals.

Second seed Pusarla gave glimpses of her best form at the All England, and will hope to go deep in the draw in Madrid, particularly in the absence of top 10 players. The draw opened up following the withdrawal of home star Carolina Marin, who won back-to-back tournaments the last two weeks.

Apart from Marin, prominent withdrawals included Lakshya Sen, Kenta Nishimoto, Busanan Ongbamrungphan, Swiss Open winners Ben Lane/Sean Vendy, Margot Lambert/Anne Tran, Marcus Ellis/Lauren Smith and Jiang Zheng Bang/Wei Ya Xin.
