The 64th edition of the Barcelona Open will involve four of the top 10 tennis players in the world, including eight-time champion Rafael Nadal, David Ferrer and Frenchman Richard Gasquet, to try to take the title that Japan's Kei Nishikori has held in the last two years.
The tournament was presented on Friday in one of the clay courts in Barcelona in a ceremony presided over by the mayor of the Catalan capital, Ada Colau, and the tournament director Albert Costa, reports Efe.
The Barcelona Open, to be held between April 16-24, also confirmed the presence of other notable rackets such as Spaniards Roberto Bautista and Feliciano Lopez, Uruguayan Pablo Cuevas and Slovak Martin Klizan, among others.
