    BARCELONA, March 21, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Tennis fans may be salivating at the prospect of heading to the Barcelona Open Banco Sabadell, as a whole host of top players will be hitting the court, including world number three Rafael Nadal.

The 23-year-old Spaniard is a five-time defending champion in this competition, so people in the audience can expect him to be firing on all cylinders when he begins the competition.

"Rafael Nadal will attempt to extend his record of five consecutive Barcelona titles, during which he has amassed a 25-match win streak dating back to 2005. Last year, and also in 2007, Nadal won the tournament without conceding a set," explained the venue.

Running from April 15th to 25th, the event is also set to star US Open champion Juan Martin Del Potro, world number six Nikolay Davydenko and Swedish star Robin Soderling.

The competition's director Albert Costa recently confirmed that two of the five wild card places will go to Spaniard Carlos Moya and Argentine David Nalbadian.
