Barcelona Open 2022: Where to watch, TV schedule, order of play, live streaming details and more

Carlos Alcaraz is one of the star attractions at this year's Barcelona Open.

The clay season continues as the ATP tour moves to Spain for the Barcelona Open, starting on 16 April.

12-time champion Rafael Nadal will miss the upcoming edition of the tournament due to a stress fracture in his rib, but the Barcelona Open still boasts an impressive line-up. World No. 5 and last year's runner-up Stefanos Tsitsipas leads the pack, with Casper Ruud, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Cameron Norrie rounding out the top four seeds.

Teen phemon Carlos Alcaraz had a disappointing outing at the Monte-Carlo Masters. He'll be eager to bounce back in front of his home crowd.

Alex de Minaur, Diego Schwartzman and Grigor Dimitrov are some of the other noteworthy names in the draw, along with a host of other top-30 players. With a lot of mouthwatering clashes expected over the course of the week, let's take a look at the schedule and broadcast details for the event.
