The Incredible Coincidence Between Alcaraz and Nadal That Could Happen Sunday at Roland Garros
Carlos Alcaraz has often been compared to Rafael Nadal due to his precocious talent and the fact that both men share the same nationality.
Although their playing styles are very different, history seems to enjoy linking Alcaraz and Nadal. A rather unlikely coincidence could occur on Sunday if the world No. 2 manages to defend his title at Roland Garros.
The native of El Palmar would then win the fifth Grand Slam of his career at the age of 22 years, 1 month, and 3 days—the exact age at which Nadal, a 22-time Grand Slam champion, also secured his fifth major title. That was on July 6, 2008, when he defeated Roger Federer at Wimbledon in a final that etched itself into tennis history.
