Barcelona Open (tennis)
Tennis tournament
Trophy of the 2008 edition
The Barcelona Open (currently sponsored by Banc Sabadell ) is an annual tennis tournament for male professional players. The event was founded in 1953 as a combined men's and women's tournament until 1980. It is played at the Real Club de Tenis Barcelona , Barcelona , Spain on clay courts. The event is commonly known as Trofeo Conde de Godó (English: Count of Godó Trophy ).[ 1]
History
The tournament was created at the initiative of Carlos Godó Valls, 2nd Count of Godó, after the tennis club moved to its new location in Pedralbes , a neighborhood in Les Corts district of Barcelona.[ 2] Vic Seixas won the first singles title as well as the doubles title, partnering Enrique Morea .[ 3] It was an event of the Grand Prix tennis circuit from 1970 until 1989, except in 1971 when it was part of the World Championship Tennis (WCT) circuit , but also open to non-WCT players. The tournament is currently part of the ATP Tour 500 series on the ATP Tour .
It is Spain's second most prestigious tournament on the ATP Tour after the Madrid Open and the event generally takes place in the last week of April, when temperatures in Barcelona average a daily high of 19 °C (66 °F).[ 4]
Native Spaniard Rafael Nadal has won the singles title a record twelve times (2005 , 2006 , 2007 , 2008 , 2009 , 2011 , 2012 , 2013 , 2016 , 2017 , 2018 , and 2021 ), and in 2017 the center court of the Real Club de Tenis Barcelona was renamed Pista Rafa Nadal (Rafa Nadal Arena).[ 5]
