Vilarnau, the official cava of the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell – Conde de Godó Trophy presents the canvas created by its ambassador, the tennis player Tommy Robredo and performed by hitting a racket. The winner of this ATP 500 tournament in 2004 captured in a blank mural the emotions that came out of him at every game point, set and match. He did this through an innovative technique, where he drew strokes by stroke with a racket and with “his second hand”, with patience and heart, remembering the most famous moments of his sports career .
This artistic process culminates in a work showing the silhouette of a tennis player, next to a bottle of Vilarnau cava in faded warm colors, showing that moment of success that can only be achieved with effort, dedication and passion. These values, which converge in the competition and the production of cava, have allowed the integration between Robredo and Vilarnau to create this unique piece of art.
Tommy Robredo He believes that the worlds of cava and tennis have a lot in common. “You always see the end, but you don’t see the daily work that goes into getting there. The same thing happens with cava, you have a glass of cava and you enjoy it but you don’t see everything work behind it to make that cava “explains the former tennis player
Robredo He confessed that “my life has changed a lot since I retired from tennis. I don’t travel anymore, I’m a consultant at RCT Barcelona, I trained a young talent from Banyoles called Oscar Casas. In Godó I was acts as a speaker on the court when the matches are over “At the moment I’m happy, I’m still tied to tennis.”
tommy He added that “actually my moment in tennis is over and now I try to enjoy other things. I enjoy it a lot, on a day-to-day basis and probably miss it the most I am the adrenaline of entering the court and the sensations when you are there and “The public is applauding you. The hardest thing about tennis is the travel, being away from home and now being with the family fills me up more than anything.”
