LONDON -- When discussing the favourites to win the Madrid Open, the first name on most people's lips would usually be claycourt king Rafa Nadal. The Spaniard, who has won the tournament five times, will have his work cut out when play begins next week, not on the Caja Magica's three red dust courts, but on gaming consoles.

Friday's draw, live on Facebook, saw Nadal placed in Group 1 alongside Britain's Andy Murray, Frenchman Gael Monfils and young Canadian Denis Shapovalov.He said during a live Instagram chat with Murray this week that he had only completed one game in his life, although the Spaniard will no doubt be as tenacious with the controller in his hand as he would be with a racket.

Stefanos Tsitsipas, Fabio Fognini, Kei Nishikori and Frances Tiafoe are in Group 3, while in Group 4 Alex Zverev and David Goffin are joined by Lucas Pouille and Karen Khachanov. There will even be post-match interviews and fans will be able to get a close-up as one screen will show the action while another window will focus on the actual player.
