The words of Carlos Alcaraz

Spain at the Olympics in Paris could field Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz in doubles.

“For me it would be a dream to be able to play doubles with him,” said the world number one, “but first we will have to see how he will be. We hope everything goes well, to compete in doubles alongside him would be a dream.”

“I was sorry to learn that Rafa would not participate in Roland Garros and would probably miss the rest of the season. As I’ve said before, as a tennis fan I love to see him play and I always wish the best players were present at the biggest tournaments, partly because you learn a lot from them these days. I hope to see him here next year at 100 percent,” he added at a press conference in Paris.

After an irresistible rise Carlos Alcaraz in 2022 won his first Grand Slam title, at the US Open. With the victory in the U.S., he gained the top spot in the Atp rankings, becoming the youngest tennis player in history to achieve the feat, at the age of 19 years 4 months and 7 days.
