The Madrid Open has apologised for not allowing the women's doubles players to address the crowd during the awards ceremony after last weekend's final.
While the finalists of the men's doubles and the men's and women's singles were given the chance to talk to spectators after their matches, winners Victoria Azarenka and Beatriz Haddad Maia, and losing finalists Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula, were oddly denied that customary honour after the final.
