Carlos Alcaraz defeated defending champion Alexander Zverev[1] in the final, 6–3, 6–1 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2022 Madrid Open.[2] It was his second Masters 1000 title. Alcaraz was the first man to defeat Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic in the same clay court tournament, which he did in the quarterfinals and semifinals, respectively.[3]
Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev were in contention for the world No. 1 singles ranking. Djokovic retained the top ranking by reaching the third round. He became the first player to record at least 30 singles wins at all nine Masters 1000 events.
The semifinal match between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic was named by the Association of Tennis Professionals as the ATP Match of the Year.[4]

Seeded players
The following are the seeded players based on the entry list per the ATP rankings as of 25 April 2022.[5] The stated "rank" and "points before" are as of 2 May 2022.
As a result of special ranking adjustment rules due to the COVID-19 pandemic, players are defending the higher of (i) their points from the 2021 tournament or (ii) the remaining 50% of their points from the 2019 tournament. Those points were not mandatory and are included in the table below only if they counted towards the player's ranking as of 2 May 2022. Players who are not defending points from the 2021 or 2019 tournaments will instead have their 19th best result replaced by their points from the 2022 tournament.
