In this paper, we use the convexity of distance function between geodesics in a singular Hadamard space to generalize Hadamard-Cartan theorem for 2-dimensional metric spaces. We also determine a neighborhood of a closed geodesic where no other closed geodesic exists in a complete space of nonpositive curvature.

In this paper, we estimate area of tube in a CBA(0)-space with extendible geodesics. As its application, we obtain an upper bound of systole in a nonsimply connected space of nonpositive curvature. Also, we determine a relative growth of a ball in a CBA(0)-space to the corresponding ball in Euclidean plane.
