Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz are set to square off against each other on March 3, 2024, in an exhibition match.

This much-awaited clash between the two Spaniards has gained the attention of fans worldwide. However, the recent price tags of the private sessions with the tennis players, especially Rafa, have blown the minds of the fans as well as the pundits. 

In a recent post shared by the resort’s official website, Rafael Nadal is charging a whopping $150,000 for a private session with him.

However, there are still doubts regarding the participation of the Spaniard in the match. The 37-year-old recently withdrew from the Qatar Open due to injury concerns. Though he has stated that he would be trying hard to make a comeback before the ‘Netflix Slam’.
