Barcelona Tennis

In Barcelona tennis and the fast moving mini version padel are very popular. There are a mix of private and public courts across the city. The majority of the tennis courts are clay. The padel courts are either hard court or carpet. Expect to pay between 10€ and 30€ for a court, depending on the time and the day.

The main tennis event in the city is the historic Trofeo Conde de Godó. This is oldest tennis tournament in Spain and is an ATP 500 ranking event. It was first played in 1953 and the Real Club Tenis Barcelona has always been the host club.

This club was formed at the same time as its neighbour FC Barcelona, by the international community that settled in the city after the 1988 International Expo.

Many of the stars of world tennis have played here including, Bjorn Borg, Ilie Nastase, Ivan Lendl and of course many of the most famous Spanish players. Rafa Nadal is the current champion.
