Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal continued to make headlines in the tennis world as they posed together in their brand-new Spain jersey for the Paris Olympics 2024. Ever since Nadal revealed that he would play in the Olympics, the fans have desperately waited for the two Spaniards to come together. 

It may be the last time that Nadal and Alcaraz are together at a team event, but for now, they are the must-watch duo this year. Not only will the two Spaniards feature in the singles matches, but they will also play together in the men’s doubles category.

While Nadal decided to skip Wimbledon and remain on clay to train for the Olympics, Alcaraz defended his title at the Championships before heading back to Paris, where he met up with Nadal. They clicked a couple of pictures together and even scheduled their first practice session together. Alcaraz recently posted one of those pictures with a caption that translated to him asking for a name for the Alcaraz-Nadal duo.

Carlos Alcaraz to keep his “mouth shut” while playing alongside Rafael Nadal

Spanish No.1 Carlos Alcaraz is set to represent his country in his Olympics debut. What makes his debut more special is that he will play alongside Rafael Nadal. The youngster is rather excited to be playing alongside an Olympic veteran and even revealed that he is the newbie in this case and will listen to Nadal.

I'm new, I'm the rookie here, so I have to keep my mouth shut and just listen to him.

On the other hand, Nadal recently got off a loss at the Nordea Open final. It was his first final in over two years and lost a tough match against Nuno Borges. Nonetheless, it was a significant improvement given that he returned from injury this year. 

The Olympics will begin in a couple of days with the first round of the tennis matches commencing on Saturday (July 27th). The schedule will be out on Thursday (July 25th) and then the fixtures will be more clear for the fans.
