La Caja Magica (The Magic Box) is also known as the Manzanares Park Tennis Center. It is located in San Fermin, in the district of Usera. The stadium is a part of the Park Manzanares and hosts the Madrid Masters Tournament every year. There are three courts and a series of retractable roofs. The main stadium has a capacity of 12,442. Designed by French architect Dominique Perrault, the main materials used for construction are steel, aluminium, concrete and glass. The arena is structured around two buildings – Magic Box and Indoor Tennis.
For the Masters 1000 Tournament of 2012, the clay surface was replaced by the blue earth. This caused great controversy because of its slippery characteristic and risk of play. Several months later, the ATP reverted back to the traditional red clay court.
