A high level of tennis was seen on the courts, as was the excellent turnout in the stands, accompanied by numerous parallel activities. From the professional experts’ conferences with different subjects relating to sports practice for the disabled, to the attendance of 450 school students from La Garrotxa, clinics with famous tennis players such as Albert Costa and Conchita Martínez as well as the number 2 in the world of wheelchair tennis, Stephan Houdet.
