This year, the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell celebrates its 71st edition. As always, this prestigious tournament brings together the world's best tennis players on the clay court of Barcelona, competing for the beautiful silverware trophy, mouth-watering prize money, and the great honour of being the champion.
It's disappointing news that the two-time defending champion, Carlos Alcaraz, has withdrawn from the tournament due to the same injury that forced him to miss the Monte Carlo Open. However, there is also some positive news to share - Rafael Nadal is returning to the clay court after his last appearance at the French Open in 2022.
Now, Russia's star player Andrey Rublev has been seeded first and is determined to grab the title to end his winless run this year. He faced a series of letdowns at the Indian Wells Open, Miami Open, and the Monte Carlo Open, where he was striving to defend his championship.
