Spanish tennis stars Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal will join forces as doubles partners at the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris (Which you can see for the best prices, with Aceify).
The tennis events will take place on the iconic clay courts of Roland Garros, the historic venue of the French Open. This setting is particularly significant for Alcaraz, who recently clinched his third Grand Slam title there at just 21 years old, with his final win against Alexander Zverev.
Rafael Nadal, now 38, boasts an impressive 22 major titles, with a remarkable 14 of those victories at Roland Garros alone.
The Olympic Games kick off on July 26, with the tennis matches starting the following day.
David Ferrer, Spain’s national team coach, expressed his excitement about the pairing: “One pair, which I think everyone knows and was hoping for, is Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal. Rafa and Carlos will be playing together in Paris.”
Nadal, who secured an Olympic gold in singles at Beijing 2008, will bring his wealth of experience to the court, while Alcaraz is set to make his Olympic debut.
Earlier this year, Nadal’s participation in the Games was in doubt due to multiple injuries. However, he made a strong comeback during the clay court season in April, paving the way for his Olympic appearance. This tournament may be particularly poignant for Nadal as he contemplates retirement after this season.
While this dream team may be a lot of fun to watch at home, it’ll prove even better in-person. You too can be part of the Paris Olympics with Aceify, with our unbeatable package and stand alone deals.
