  • After all the excitement (and perhaps a fair degree of predictability) surrounding Rafael Nadal’s triumphant return to the tour this week, we can expect more of the same this week in Barcelona.
  • Novak Djokovic takes a wildcard into the the tournament – and after his promising battle against Dominic Thiem in Monte Carlo, then maybe this week will see him improve.
  • David Goffin is the first of the top seeds in action on Tuesday
  • British interest lies with Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares who face a tough task against the No. 4 seeds, The Bryan brothers.
