A new edition of the Conde de Godó is approaching and the Barcelona tournament is preparing to welcome the best rackets in the world. Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz, Stefanos Tsitsipas… and the return of other big names.
The end of the North American hard court tour is coming and with it the arrival of the clay court tour is already on the horizon. Important moment for many names on the circuit and also for some of the most historic events on the ATP calendar. Spain is always one of the great protagonists of a time of year in which our public devotes itself to tennis, opening the season with the dispute of the Count of Godó 2024. This year’s edition is more special than ever: it returns Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz He will seek his third title in a row… but the list does not stop there.
We already know the preliminary list of players who will compete in Barcelona from April 15 to 21. The number one seed will be Carlos Alcaraz who, as it could not be otherwise, will repeat in one of the places where he feels most loved on the circuit. There he has already won the title in both 2022 and 2023, although this year he will face renewed opposition that will have the clear objective of stopping him.
This squad of candidates is made up of no more and no less than eight players from the top-20, completing a luxury squad for an ATP 500 that competes that same week with Munich and Bucharest. Andrey Rublev returns to a city that he knows very well after choosing Belgrade and Banja Luka in recent seasons, Casper Ruud will chase a dominant performance close to his training base and Alex de Miñaur He will want to confirm his step forward on a surface in which he is not a specialist, but in which he almost ruined Carlitos’ experience, on these same slopes, a couple of seasons ago.
RAFA, THE GREAT HOPE AND ILLUSION
And yes, of course, the great attraction of the Spanish tournament lies in the name of Rafael Nadal. On paper, this will be his second tournament after his latest physical setback: it should serve as a real launching pad after restarting the machinery in Monte Carlo. Rafa has not played in Barcelona since 2021, in which he surpassed Stefanos Tsitsipas in an exciting final in which he was on the brink of the precipice. Of course, he will begin his path in Barcelona without enjoying a BYE in the first round, a circumstance that both he and we will have to get used to in the coming months.
