The 2023 Virtual Mutua Madrid Open, the eSports competition organised by the Mutua Madrid Open, will this year be held in association with PlayStation, who will promote the tournament by giving a PlayStation 5 to each of the eight players who qualify for the final stage by winning the heats that will take place in La Vaguada and at four Orange Stores.

The 2023 Virtual Mutua Madrid Open, which will also be supported by Orange and Nacon, will be played on the Tennis World Tour 2 video game on PlayStation 5 with 10,000 euros in prizes (5,000 euros for the winner of the final stage, 3,000 to second place and 2,000 for third), as well as the eight PS5s and various Nacon accessory packs.

The tournament will include 8 qualifying heats (in person), which will take place as follows:

There will also be an opportunity to reach the final stage in six other heats that will take place in the Caja Mágica (24, 25, 26, 27, 28 and 29 April).
