Alcaraz on playing doubles with Nadal at the Olympics: "It would be a dream".

Le 25/04/2024 à 19h37 par Elio Valotto

Carlos Alcaraz, two-time winner in Madrid, kicks off his tournament this Friday against Kazakhstan's Alexander Shevchenko (ranked 59th in the world). The match will be an opportunity for the Spaniard to get back into action (he has been absent from the courts since Miami).

In an interview with Marca, Carlito spoke about one of the major events of the 2024 season. He talked about the Paris Olympic Games, which are drawing ever closer.

Asked about a potential doubles appearance with Rafael Nadal, the world number 3 was strangely impressed: "I've met him in recent days, at the last few tournaments, and the truth is that I haven't spoken to him about it. I don't know, it's something that would make me very happy, it would be a dream. [...] I have to tell him. I know he can't wait to play with me. I've already said a thousand times that it would be great to play doubles with him at my first Olympic Games." (comments relayed by Marca).
