David Ferrer will not be the director of ATP Barcelona starting from the 2026 edition. The former tennis player is closing a six-year period leading the tournament, during which the draw has changed from 48 to 32 players and faced challenging times such as managing the Covid-19 pandemic. The organization has released a statement confirming that this is the last edition with a director who has "love for this tournament". Ferrer himself, who is also the captain of the Spanish Davis Cup team, has expressed his gratitude for the trust placed in him: "I am very grateful to the Real Club Tenis Barcelona for the opportunity. After my time as a player, I have felt very fulfilled on a personal and professional level. One chapter closes for me and a new one begins. I was eager to face new challenges, but this is something I will always carry in my heart, something I will never forget. I am leaving very happy." His tenure at the Conde de Godó will end with the final this Sunday, and his next professional venture as 'Ferru' has not yet been revealed.
