The Barcelona Open is an annual professional tennis ATP 500 tournament on the ATP Tour. The event was renamed Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell in 2008. It is played at the Real Club de Tenis Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain, on clay courts.
History
The Barcelona Open was founded in 1953 as a combined men's and women's tournament until 1980. 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, and is commonly known as the Barcelona Open Banco Sabadell - Trofeo Conde de Godó (). Vic Seixas won the first singles title as well as the doubles title, partnering Enrique Morea. 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.
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 .
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).
