Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz have been in the United States this week, mainly trying to get back to full fitness as well as prepare for Indian Wells that starts next week.
Before that though is a special exhibition between the Spanish pair, named 'The Netflix Slam', which will be shown on the streaming platform on Sunday night. Nadal and Alcaraz arrived in Las Vegas, where the exhibition will be taking place, on Saturday and were met by Andre Agassi for a round of golf at Shadow Creek.

Nadal also shared in a picture on Instagram himself, Alcaraz and Agassi sitting with former NBA star Pau Gasol and Alcaraz's coach Juan Carlos Ferrero.
Both players have suffered with injury recently, with Nadal missing most of 2023 and suffering a setback at the Brisbane International with a muscle tear. Meanwhile, Alcaraz was forced to withdraw from the Rio Open after an ankle injury. 'The Netflix Slam' will be an indicator of where they're at fitness wise ahead of the ATP Masters event in California, which starts on 6 March.

- My money is simply on fatigue. She's not the compact 'muscle-man'-type like perhaps Sabalenka, Swiatek or Sakkari. She's a player desperately longing for some kind of Djokovic rhythm. She should skip lots to win more majors. And the rumour I thought wasn't it Long Covid?MrAndreeva10-05-2024
- If there is some other reason, like exhaustion or self-preservation by not playing in consecutive tourneys, then simply say so. There's no shame in self preservation. Since the WTA obviously does not seriously consider a player's physical and mental stress as they schedule back-to-back majors, it's okay to adhere to such a healthy agenda and admit it. The illness thing is kind of suspect at this point; if only because of the timing pattern.
mandoist10-05-2024 - So, Elena Rybakina has again withdrawn due to illness (in Rome). Fans are concerned if this is truly a gastrointestinal issue. Why the secrecy? Is it truly an illness causing these withdrawals? It may be helpful -- even encouraging -- for others whom also suffer whatever illness is ongoing here to know what she is dealing with; and how. A form of Colitis? Ulcers? What's up? Timing has been last minute. It's a bummer all around.mandoist10-05-2024
- Tennis is ridiculous to maintain the tradition of silence. If they can play in open courts like Rome with all the noise from each court they surely could survive cheering, etc., during play (i.e., a singles match with only a 2 meter fence between them and a men's doubles -- and very loud noise from each side).mandoist10-05-2024
