Alcaraz must save Spain and delay Nadal's retirement

Le 19/11/2024 à 18h39 par Killian Le Gall

After Rafael Nadal's defeat by Botic Van de Zandschulp, Carlos Alcaraz (No.3) takes on Tallon Griekspoor (No.40) in a crucial match to help Spain come back to 1-1 against the Netherlands in the Davis Cup quarter-finals.

A match with two stakes

The stakes are twofold. Firstly, to keep his team alive in the Davis Cup. Secondly, to postpone the end of his idol Rafael Nadal's career.

Although the Spaniard is the clear favorite, he will have to be wary, as his opponent can be formidable on indoor hard court.
