The ATP clay swing continues after the Monte-Carlo Masters with the return of Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz in the ATP 500 Barcelona Open, as well as the ATP 250 BMW Munich Open and Tiriac Open Bucharest featuring Alexander Zverev, Holger Rune, and Sebastian Korda.
After more than 3 months, Nadal returns to the courts in one of his favorite tournaments, where he is the record holder with 12 titles. In the last two editions, the champion was Carlos Alcaraz, although without the presence of the 22-times Grand Slam champion to defend his crown. Alcaraz withdrew from the Monte-Carlo Masters, and it remains to be seen if he is at his physical peak in Barcelona.
They won't be the only protagonists in Barcelona, as the presence of Monte-Carlo finalists Casper Ruud and Stefanos Tsitsipas is confirmed, along with players like Andrey Rublev, Alex De Minaur, and Ugo Humbert.

Local favorite Alexander Zverev will be the top seed, joined by players like Taylor Fritz, Felix Auger-Aliassime, and Jack Draper.
At the Tiriac Open Bucharest, the ATP Tour returns to Romania after eight years since its last edition, in which Fernando Verdasco defeated Lucas Pouille to claim the title back in 2016. The tournament will feature three top-30 players leading the draw: Francisco Cerundolo, Sebastian Korda, and Tallon Griekspoor, with other interesting players such as Alejandro Tabilo, Luca Nardi, Stan Wawrinka, and Lorenzo Sonego also participating.
