The news that has been in the air for a few days is now official. Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal they will play doubles together at the Paris 2024 Olympics. This was officially announced by the coach of the Spanish national team David Ferrer.
It is useless to underline the great value of the doubles formed by the new champion of Roland Garros and the 14-time winner in Paris who will go on the field to try to win the Olympic gold medal. In the meantime if Nadal will skip the grass season and focus on the Olympics, the same thing doesn’t apply to Alcaraz.
Let’s see what the world number 2’s approach to the Olympic tournament will be like. What will be the next tournaments they will see on the pitch Carlos Alcaraz? The three-time Slam champion after winning the Roland Garroslast Sunday, this week he is not involved in any tournament but will be back on the pitch next week.
Wimbledon is upon us, it’s not too far away and we need to not give too much room for celebrations for the Parisian success but we need to prepare for the grass court season. Carlos Alcaraz’s head is already projected towards London where he will try to repeat the success of the last edition won in the final on Novak Djokovic.
Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal will play doubles together at the Olympics
The Spanish tennis player will return to the court next week for theAtp 500 of Queen’s historic Wimbledon preparation event. It will be the number one seed 1 of the tournament because the same week, Jannik Sinner, world number 1 will lead the seeding of the Halle 500.
Of course after Queen’s another week without tournaments and then he will play Wimbledon which this year is scheduled to be Monday 1 July to Sunday 14 July. Here Alcaraz’s program will be very linked to how things go in the third Slam of the season.
If he reaches the end, he has currently left his possible participation in a tournament on the platform pending beaten earth to get back to familiar with that surface in view of the Paris Olympics which start on July 27th with the final on August 4th at Roland Garros.
If there were to be an early elimination from Wimbledon the chances of seeing him entered in a July tournament on “red” would increase. Everything must be linked to the fact that Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz will officially play doubles together Olympic Games.
And of course they could and would also like to play a doubles run-in tournament before the Olympics.
Self Nadal-Alcaraz wanted to play, the possibilities could be in the week from 15 to 21 July: with theAtp 500 in Hamburg or the 250 in Switzerland in Gstaad or the 250 in Sweden in Bastad where Jannik Sinner will also be there.
However, everything is very close to the date of the Wimbledon final and for this reason Alcaraz has not made any definitive decisions at the moment.
