Holder of a Master’s degree in sports journalism, I fell in love with tennis since childhood and have always loved reading the great stories of this sport. Today, I want to tell them about them, take full advantage of my passion and be as close as possible to the aces of the circuit.
Already out of the entire grass season, Rafael Nadal will concentrate his efforts on the Paris Olympic Games. Double Olympic champion in singles and doubles, the Mallorcan is well present in the selection of the Spanish team thanks to his protected classification. He will be well associated with Carlos Alcaraz in doubles for an unprecedented association which is already making a lot of noise. Even if they have no experience, they intend to shine in this major Olympic tournament.
Eliminated in the first round of the tournament Roland-Garros after a difficult draw, Rafael Nadal will only play in competition again after Wimbledon to avoid changing surfaces. Expected to Enough in Sweden for a ATP 250he should then compete in the Paris Olympics in the hope of shining one last time, in singles but also in doubles with Carlos Alcaraz. Their mouth-watering association could be crowned with success.
“I think there will be this alchemy between Rafa and Carlos”
It’s not that uncommon to see singles players teaming up to form competitive pairs in tournaments on the circuit. And for the Olympic Games, many do this option, even those who we never normally see in doubles. So, Rafael Nadal et Carlos Alcaraz could take advantage of their talent to achieve a beautiful course. “It makes sense that they have no preparation. But there is a certain chemistry and a feeling that you feel with players, and I think there will be that chemistry between Rafa and Carlos. I think when they step on the court, they will learn from each other. I think Carlitos has a unique opportunity to learn from Rafa, from his experience, from what he experienced, from what he felt, from how he was able to handle the biggest moments of his career. And of course, the freshness of Carlos who arrives in great shape, who has just won Roland‐Garros, and I think that this will also help him to grow, and above all to become aware of the unique opportunity that presents itself. to him. In my opinion, I think he has that in his head and he’s going to take advantage of it, I hope they get there,” said Alex Corretjaformer world number 2, for Eurosport.

The 2024 season is very busy with the integration into the calendar of the Olympic tournament, which will take place on the courts of Roland-Garros.
