Tennis icon Rafael Nadal has confirmed his participation in the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell, marking his first clay-court appearance of 2024.

Nadal's return to the Barcelona Open has generated immense excitement among tennis fans. The Spaniard has dominated the tournament in recent years, winning the title in 2023, 2022, and 2021. His record-breaking 12 championships in Barcelona stand as a testament to his dominance on clay surfaces.
Nadal's match against Cobolli is scheduled for Tuesday and will mark the start of his clay-court campaign. The Barcelona Open is a key tournament in Nadal's calendar, providing him with an opportunity to fine-tune his game ahead of the French Open. Nadal will be aiming to extend his record-breaking tally at Roland-Garros, where he has won a remarkable 14 titles.
