 So next week we have another big tournament in Barcelona an ATB 500 event with a big names playing in this one We've got Rafa's gonna be in the draw as well Well, let's go have a look at who's not gonna be playing in Barcelona next week So only a couple of names are pulled out Lehechka He's pulled out McDonald also pulled out and Roussevore will be missing next week cast Alcárez He's also pulled out of this tournament due to that arm injury So huge name defending champion of the last two years not gonna be at this event All right starting at the top of the draw We have 16 seats in this one and everybody gets to buy in the first round Marijan He comes into the 17th seed replacing Alcárez at the top of the draw He gets to buy in the first round He'll take on the winner of Van Aesch and Zhong in the second round Then you got Diaz Acosta versus Rincon winner that would take on the number 15 seat Chorich in the second round Then you got the number 10 seed Moussedi gets by in the first round He'll take on either a qualifier or Bayanna in the second round Then you got Kodov taken on Ovna winner that would take on the number five seed City pass in the second round Very fun little section here because of course City pass playing so well this week Moussedi also dangerous in this section as well So should be a really fun section to see who gets out of it second part of the draw now We've got Diminal the number four seed he gets to buy in the first round He'll take on either Kabali or Rafa Nadal in that second round So Rafa's back and he's in the draw So that's a great sign to see and of course Rafa playing at home possibly the last time unless he plays Madrid as well So really fun little section Then you got old man taken on Poprin winner that will take on the number 16 seed feasts in the second round Then you got the number 11 seed Fakina get to buy in the first round He'll take on the winner of Mahatch or a qualifier in the second round Then you got another qualifier taken on Lyovic winner that would take on the number six seed Umbair in the second round So of course plays to watch out for you got to watch ever Demon or and Umbair but of course Rafa Nadal He is the one that we're all looking out for we want to see him play well And he's got a nice draw I mean if you can beat Kabali great match up there in the second round to play against Demon or and of course This section of the draw in the semi-finals could be getting city pass considering his form Maybe it's city pass versus demon or maybe city pass versus Umbair in the semi-finals But really exciting part of the draw for this one. All right bottom half of the draw We've got the number 80 by as he gets by in the first round He'll take on either a Nauri or Kazoo in the second round Then we've got a battle between two qualifiers winner of that battle will play against the number nine seed Jerry in the second round Then you got number 14 seed Thompson He gets by in the first round He'll take on either Munar or Nishioca in the second round Then you got Muller taken around with Van Olez winner of that would take on the number three seed Kasper rude in the second round Of course rude playing so well this week by making the final of Monte Carlo But you got to watch out for rude of course biggest dangerous player probably in this section also Jerry and Bayez Both of those guys very very good on the clay courts in South America in February So watch out for those two guys as well It's gonna be a really really fun section and hopefully for Kasper rude he can get through this section bottom part of the draw Now we've got the number seven seed Hashinov gets by in the first round He'll take on either so fuel and or Batista a goo in the second round Then you got a qualifier taken on cash in winner of that would take on the number 12 seed Nori at your very number 13 See gets by in the first round He'll take on either a qualifier Well land a luci in the second round then you got Evans taken on Nakashima winner of that will take on the number two Seed Andre Rueblev in the second round very fun section and really Hashinov the only guy out of this section that has stood up in the last week at your very Rueblev both having disappointing weeks last week So really interesting to see what happens here and of course Rueblev want to watch out for Hashinov We've got to watch out for him and it's a very like a mention, but Nori also Nori can also play on clay So watch out for him as well in this section will take on the rude section in the semi finals So Rueblev rude that could be a semi final maybe Rueblev versus Bayez if you want to go something a little different Maybe Rueblev taken on Jerry if you want to go something even more different Or if you like Kasper rude and put him in the semis rude versus Hashinov which is based on the form So that's probably the most likely if we're basing it on last week's form in Monte Carlo There it is. That is the draw for Barcelona. It never disappoints Barcelona It's almost like a 1,000 title It does have a lot of big players playing if Sidney pass rude played well last week in Monte Carlo there there as well Raffa's return, please Raffa play or match at least play one match for us so we can watch you But man, what a tournament who's gonna win though. Let me know down the comments below Who do you think is gonna win in Barcelona in 2024? But there it is the Barcelona open very very interesting draw
