Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz to play doubles for Spain at Paris Olympics


Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz will team up to play doubles for Spain at the Paris Olympics.

Nadal, 38, won an Olympic singles gold medal in 2008 and a doubles gold in 2016.

The Paris Games will be Alcaraz’s first Olympics as he returns to Roland-Garros where he was crowned men’s French Open champion on Monday AEST.

The participation of Nadal – who is 17 years older than Alcaraz — was up in the air with the 14-times French Open champion still not at his best following injuries.

But national team coach and former top-10 player David Ferrer said Nadal would team up with Alcaraz.
