When the Mutua Madrid Open returned to the Caja Mágica in the spring of 2021 after two years away, it brought with it a quiet but consequential shift in how sports might be witnessed. Through a six-camera streaming project called MMOpen Inside, the tournament invited fans — constrained from attending in person — not merely to watch tennis, but to inhabit its margins: the corridors, the practice courts, the arrivals, the waiting. In doing so, Madrid became the first major ATP tournament to ask whether transparency itself could be a form of hospitality.
