Visit of the mayor to the world capital of tennis

One of the keys to the success of the Godó, its magic formula, is the close link that the tournament has with the city that hosts it. And Ada Colau, its mayor, is well aware of the strength of this 500 designed almost 70 years ago by Carlos Godó Valls, then president of the RCTB, to bring to Barcelona a great tennis event like those that triumphed in Paris or London. But, in addition, this year she considers it even more special. “Two years ago the outbreak of the pandemic that disrupted all areas of our lives, with one edition suspended and another with many restrictions, so this is the year of reunion,” she explained. Received yesterday by Javier Godó, Count of Godó, and Jordi Cambra on a day of heavy rain and little play, he celebrated the fact that Barcelona is once again the world capital of tennis and that the tournament is increasingly more sustainable. In fact, it is the first ATP with a Sustainable Event certification, according to the UNE-ISO 20121 specification.
