The streaming platform Netflix, for the first time in its history, hosted an exhibition tennis match in Las Vegas named Netflix Slam.

Two Spanish athletes were invited to participate – the legendary Rafael Nadal and the rising star of world tennis, Carlos Alcaraz.

The first set was secured by Nadal with a score of 6:3, but Alcaraz emerged victorious in the second set with a score of 6:4. The winner was ultimately determined in a super tiebreak, which concluded with the young Spaniard winning 12:10.
