In terms of when they step on the court, I think the two of them will learn from one another. I think for Carlitos it’s incredible to have the luck to have the experience of Rafa, for what he has been through, for what he’s felt, how he’s been able to manage all the biggest moments during his career.

The Paris Olympics is set to begin on the 26th of July. Tennis action begins the very next day, on the 27th.

Carlos Alcaraz also excited to learn from the best in his first Olympic opportunity

The 2024 Paris Olympics is set to commence and more excited than the crowd is Carlos Alcaraz, who will be playing for his country on the big stage alongside another champion player Rafael Nadal. This is his first Olympics, and the Spaniard is all in for learning from one of the best in the business. 

Honestly, I feel he is going to teach me how to deal with everything. I am a young guy who needs to grow up as a player, to grow up as a person as well. Of course, it’s going to be my first Olympic Games. Everything is new for me, so I hope to learn a lot from him.
