Nadal and Alcaraz to play Olympics doubles together for Spain at Paris 2024
It is a major coup both for Spanish sport and the Paris Olympics, as the notion of selling the tennis event with the added prospect of watching Nadal and Alcaraz play alongside each other is a powerful incentive for potential spectators.
While 38-year-old Nadal and 21-year-old Alcaraz have played doubles together on tour, the pair possess a joint clay-court pedigree that will be a frightening prospect for their opponents in Paris.
Nadal is a 14-time Roland-Garros champion, while Alcaraz has just won his first title at the same competition in just his fourth main-draw appearance.
They are both supreme clay-courters, who bring very different attributes to the tennis court.
With three Grand Slam titles already under his belt, current world No 2 Alcaraz will be hoping to add another prestigious feather to his cap at the Olympics this year as he enters both the singles and the doubles as one of the favourites for the gold medal.
Nadal, meanwhile, is competing in his final Olympic Games and will be hoping to sign off his extraordinary career with yet more success on the clay courts of Paris.
The 22-time Grand Slam champion is already an Olympic gold medallist in the singles (in 2008) and in the doubles (in 2016).
