The Mutua Madrid Open not only hosts the ATP and WTA competitions in the Caja Magica during the fortnight of competition from 21 April to 4 May, it is also staging the Under-16 event again this season, where you can see the biggest talents in the category. The champions will be decided from 30 April to 3 May on the same courts graced by the stars of world tennis.
After a long calendar across the entire Spanish territory, 32 players (16 boys and 16 girls) have earned themselves a place in the Final Stage since the circuit began in June 2024 in Santander.
Real Sociedad de Tenis de la Magdalena hosted the first heat, where Marc Martín Roca and Maria Diago Martin got the win and the first ticket to the Caja Mágica. In July, Real Club de Tenis San Sebastián provided the stage for the second event, where Óscar Casas Mas and Adriana Monlleo Ramos came out on top.
In September, the tour stopped off at Club de Campo Villa de Madrid, which witnessed wins for Alejandro Hernández Ramada and Daria M Grigore, and Club de Tenis Pamplona, where Adriá Velázquez Farre and Carla Guerrero Calvo were victorious.
Real Club Jolaseta in Bilbao was the venue in October for the fifth heat, when Martín Rodríguez Pellicena and Ailish García Fernández got their hands on the trophy. In November it was Club Río Grande in Seville that saw Agustín Siancha Borlenghi and Vega Aguilar Fernández top the podium. BTT Tennis Academy in Valldoreix crowned Alberto Pulido Moreno and Anna Orlando Pellicero.
Halfway through the calendar, the eighth event was held at the Academia Tenis Ferrer in Javea (Alicante), and it was Adolfo Abascal Castaño and Vega Aguilar, for the second time, who took the spoils. From there to Ciudad de la Raqueta in Madrid in December, where Jorge Martínez Vasquez and Maria Koziar won the finals.

The circuit then visited Mallorca, for the fourteenth heat, at the Rafa Nadal Academy. There, Toni Escarda Piñeiro and Lucía Rodríguez Domínguez booked themselves a spot in the finals.
