Gimeno Traver plans to implement improvements in data management and digital communication to optimize tournament logistics. A centralized platform is expected to allow tennis players to access schedules, statistics, and real-time notifications. Additionally, connectivity on the courts will be strengthened to facilitate match analysis, a key aspect for players seeking to earn points in the ATP ranking.

The former tennis player who now has to take care of the courts instead of breaking them 🎾

Gimeno Traver spent years pounding the courts with his drop shots and forehands. Now, as director, his main concern will be that the artificial grass is perfect and that the ball machine doesn't jam. Of course, if any player complains about the bounce, he knows what it's like to be on the other side of the net: he'll probably offer them a coffee and tell them it's the wind's fault.
