BARCELONA OPEN SABADELL

The Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell, Trofeu Conde de Godó Trophy is the clay-court tournament which Barcelona hosts every year. The competition attracts the world’s top players and has become one of the city’s key social events. The 61st tournament will be held on the courts of the Reial Club de Tennis Barcelona – 1899 from 20th to 28th April.
Once again, the Mallorcan player Rafael Nadal will be the hot favourite to carry off the trophy. In 2012, he claimed his seventh Barcelona Open title. In addition to Nadal, some of the top ten ATP players are also expected to play. This is because the Barcelona Open Banc de Sabadell is considered one of the best tournaments on the ATP 500 World Tour. 
In addition to the tournament at the Reial Club Tennis Barcelona, the square in front of Barcelona Cathedral will once again be the setting for an alternative activity which is also associated with tennis and met with great success last year: ‘Tennis in the street’, an initiative which seeks to bring tennis to the community.
