“The world’s No.2 tennis player and Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz announced he will not suit up for the 2026 ATP Madrid Open tournament next week, according to a post on his social network page.”
DISPUTED
The evidence provided discusses Carlos Alcaraz withdrawing from tournaments (e.g., Mutua Madrid Open, Italian Open, Barcelona Open) due to injuries, but none of the sources mention him withdrawing from the 2026 ATP Madrid Open tournament specifically, nor do they mention a social media post announcing this. Furthermore, the Wikipedia evidence for 2026 shows him competing in the Australian Open and Monte-Carlo Masters, contradicting the claim that he is withdrawing from the 2026 Madrid Open.

“Russian tennis players Marat Safin and Andrey Rublev won this tournament in 2004 and 2024 respectively.”
DISPUTED
The evidence shows that Marat Safin is a former player and coach, and Andrey Rublev is a current player. However, the evidence does not confirm that Safin won in 2004 or that Rublev won in 2024. The evidence for Safin only confirms he was born in 1980, and the evidence for Rublev confirms he is a player, but there is no direct confirmation of these specific wins.
