2007 Seniors Torneo Godó
The 2007 Seniors Torneo Godó was the second edition of the Seniors Torneo Godó and it took place from April 19–22, 2007.
Tie breaks were used for the first two sets of each match, which was the best of three sets. If the score was tied at one set all, a "champions tie break" (the first player to win at least 10 points or by a margin of two points) would be used.
Sergi Bruguera successfully defended his title by defeating Jordi Arrese 4–6, 6–1, [10–2] in an all-Spaniard final. Cédric Pioline took the third place.
