  • Sumari Memòria Esportiva Del Tennis Català
    MEMÒriA ESPORTIVA Memòria Esportiva del Tennis Català L’any tennístic 2005 ha estat marcat per l’eclosió mundial del fenomen Rafael Nadal, que va aconse- guir al Trofeu Conde de Godó de Barcelona, el triomf que el va projectar internacionalment tot just abans de guanyar el seu primer Grand Slam a Roland Garros. L’impacte mediàtic del jugador del RCT Barcelona-1899 s’ha sumat a altres variables que han fet incrementar l’interès pel tennis, i el que és més important, el nombre de practicants del nostre esport. La majoria de les escoles del clubs catalans han experimentat, amb major o menor intensitat, un augment en el nombre d’alumnes a les seves classes, especialment entre les edats més joves. Aquest bon moment del tennis de base es reflecteix en les dades de la Federació Catalana de Tennis (FCT), que va tancar el 2005 amb el nombre de llicències més alt dels darrers 10 anys; un total de 36.717 jugadors federats a tot Catalunya, amb un destacable increment en el cas del tennis femení. El tennis català s’ha enfortit no tan sols a nivell de practicants, sinó també de competició amb l’or- ganització d’un total de 15 tornejos internacionals masculins i 6 femenins, a més de tots els Campionats de Catalunya, oberts i socials inclosos dins el calendari oficial de competicions de la FCT. Més enllà de l’àmbit competitiu, la FCT va impulsar també el primer Campionat de Tennis per a Empreses i, amb la voluntat d’introduir la pràctica del tennis a altres col.lectius i edats, ha continuat treballant amb els seus programes de tennis a les escoles, tennis a les presons, tennis en cadira de rodes amb la magnífica tasca de José Aguado, i tennis per a disminuits psíquics liderat per Sergi Bruguera en col.lasboració amb l'ACELL.

Nadal is the all-time leader with 34 ATP Masters 1000 titles, one more than Novak Djokovic’s 33, and will try to pick up his 35th trophy at this level at an event he has already won four times (2005, 2008, 2013, and 2018). He has also reached a record-breaking 51st ATP Masters 1000 final this week, moving one ahead of Roger Federer’s 50. Nadal did not have to play a semi-final match, as Gael Monfils withdrew from their Saturday night clash after suffering injury during the Frenchman’s lengthy Saturday afternoon quarter-final win over Roberto Bautista Agut. • To extend his lead in the all-time ATP Masters 1000 title standings, Nadal will have to overcome Medvedev, a player who will be contesting his first-ever ATP Masters 1000 final. However, despite that disparity in experience at this level, Medvedev has proven to be a formidable competitor on hardcourts.
