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]
