It took Almagro one hour and 39 minutes to defeat Roberdo 6-3, 3-6, 6-1, reports Efe.
The World No.76 is through to the second round of the Madrid Open for the first time since 2014, while reaching the 2010 final has been his best achievement.
Robredo had not played in Madrid since he was eliminated from the first round in 2014.
