La Caja Mágica, translated as The Magic Box, and also known as the Manzanares Park Tennis Center, is a tennis structure located at the Park Manzanares used for the Madrid Masters tournament in Madrid, Spain.
There are three courts under the one structure, and a series of retractable roofs[1]. The main stadium has a seating capacity of 12,500. There are two smaller courts in the structure, with Court 1 able to hold 3,500 people, and Court 2 to hold 2,500 people. The seating capacity of Courts 1 and 2 would have been increased if Madrid's bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics had been successful. [2]
