The Greek Stéfanos Tsitsipas will not miss the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell – Conde de Godó Trophy. A tournament that he has marked in red on his calendar and that he has never missed. The current world number 11 is the fourth tennis player to confirm his presence in Barcelona this spring after the announcements of Rafa Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz and Andrey Rublev.
A three-time Godó finalist, Tsitsipas is especially good at this tournament. The Greek tennis player was Carlos Alcaraz’s rival in last year’s exciting final that the Murcian won. This year, he will once again be one of the rivals to beat and will try to win the title that has always eluded him. On the other two occasions in which he was a finalist (2018 and 2021) Rafa Nadal ended his aspirations of lifting the trophy.
Tsitsipás has recognized that the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell – Conde de Godó Trophy is one of his “favorite” tournaments and it was precisely on the court of the Real Club de Tenis Barcelona-1899, which this year celebrates its 125th anniversary, where he reached the first final of his career when he was only 19 years old.
The Greek aspires to return to the top-10 of the ATP rankings (he is now 11th) after a career in which he has accumulated 27 finals and a dozen titles, including those at the Australian Open (2023) and Roland Garros (2021). .
The 71st Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell – Conde de Godó Trophy will be held from April 13 to 21 on the courts of the Real Club de Tenis Barcelona-1899, with Carlos Alcaraz from Murcia defending the title won a year ago.
