Two more seeds have dropped from the Madrid draw.

Wimbledon and US Open finalist Amanda Anisimova and Ekaterina Alexandrova each withdrew from the Mutua Madrid Open today.

The sixth-seeded Anisimova has been pained by a wrist injury, while Alexandrova has been bothered by a back injury.

“Alexandrova was replaced in the draw by Maria Sakkari as the No. 33 seed and Anisimova was replaced by Magdalena Frech as the No. 34 seed, both with first-round byes,” the WTA announced. 

They are the two latest prominent players to pull out of the Mutua Madrid Open.

Last week, world No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz, who injured his right wrist in Barcelona, Grand Slam king Novak Djokovic, who has been sidelined with a shoulder issue, and Emma Raducanu, recovering from viral illness, all withdrew from Madrid.
