Carlos Alcaraz le dice a Rafael Nadal lo que necesita de él en los Juegos Olímpicos de París
Alcaraz talks about playing doubles with Rafael Nadal and the next Olympics.
Carlos Alcaraz, 21, is thrilled to be partnering with his idol Rafael Nadal for the doubles event and envisions it as a fairytale ending. He says he hopes Nadal would impart some of his wisdom to him during this year’s Olympics in Paris.
Alcaraz will be competing in his first Olympics when the Paris Olympics begin on July 26. He recently celebrated his birthday in May. Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal, who is competing in his final Olympics, will both compete in the men’s event, the Spanish team formally stated last week.
For over a year, it was heavily rumored that Alcaraz and Nadal were looking to form a doubles team for the Paris Olympics. Now, Alcaraz and Nadal sharing the same part of the court is set to become a reality. However, there is a catch – while Nadal has an Olympic gold medal that he won in 2016 with Marc Lopez, Alcaraz rarely plays doubles as his last appearance in the competition came two years ago.
And since Alcaraz and Nadal likely won’t play any warm-up doubles tournaments, many are curious to see how it will all look when they take to the court as a pair.
“I mean, I didn’t expect to play doubles at the Olympic Games with Rafa. It is a unique moment for me but of course I am very happy about it. Let’s see how it’s going to be but it’s going to be a great time,” Alcaraz said in his pre-tournament press conference at the Queen’s Club.
“Honestly, I feel he is going to teach me how to deal with everything. I am the young guy who needs to grow up as a player, to grow up as a person as well. Of course it’s going to be my first Olympic Games. Everything is new for me, so I hope to learn a lot from him.”
