Nadal bids for his fifth title in eight Mutua Madrid Open finals against first-time ATP Masters 1000 finalist Dominic Thiem. The Spaniard has swept 14 matches and 28 of 30 sets on clay this spring, including titles at Monte-Carlo and Barcelona. Though he lost to Nadal 6-4, 6-1 in the Barcelona final on April 30, Thiem has defeated him on clay before, rallying from match point down in the 2016 Buenos Aires semi-finals. The 23-year-old saved five match points on Thursday in his third-round win over Grigor Dimitrov. Thiem is attempting to become the first ATP Masters 1000, ATP Finals or Grand Slam champion born after 1988. The doubles final pits No. 4 seeds Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo against No. 6 seeds Nicolas Mahut and Edouard Roger-Vasselin. Kubot and Melo are appearing in their third ATP Masters 1000 final of the season after winning the Miami title and finishing as Indian Wells runners-up. Mahut and Roger-Vasselin are 4-0 in finals as a team and playing together for the first time in 2017.
