Of the many players who will compete at the Paris Olympics, there is special attention on Spaniards Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz, who are set to play in the doubles as a team. Nadal, who is inching very close to his retirement, will be hoping to win his third Olympic gold with the help of his younger and fitter partner.
Besides them, Djokovic will be very motivated to win the gold medal for his country. He has previously spoken about his desire to stand on top of the podium at the quadrennial event and will be doing his best to make his dreams come true.
