Nadal is open to playing doubles with Alcaraz at the upcoming Olympics
Rafael Nadal, a winner of 22 Grand Slam tournaments, responded positively to Carlos Alcaraz's expressed desire to play doubles together at the 2024 Olympic Games.
In a recent interview, Alcaraz admitted that he was hesitant to propose playing alongside the renowned compatriot at the upcoming Games in Paris.
"No, he doesn't need to ask me anything. For me, it's also very interesting. If I'm not mistaken, it is for him too.
It would be great to play a tournament together before the Olympics to prepare and establish understanding on the court. If both of us are in good shape, why not?
We have a chance to create a great team and strive for significant achievements. It would be great for both of us. I think it would also be beneficial for the Spanish team.
Let's see how things unfold. I hope I'll be in good shape to be a good partner for him. I'm sure he'll be the same for me. Let's see where this takes us. I hope we'll have the opportunity to work together a little bit first," - Nadal said.
