Dream doubles pairing between Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz set for Olympic Games

The 7 Spanish tennis players who will compete at the Olympic Games in Paris 2024 are already known! The announcement was made a few moments ago, and there will be 5 male and 2 female players who will go to France to fight for the medals. The representatives will be Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz, Pablo Carreño, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Sara Sorribes, Cristina Bucsa and Marcel Granollers.
Thus, Paula Badosa will not go to the Olympic Games because, according to José Morón, from Punto de break, the Spaniard has decided not to use her protected ranking because she prefers to save her options for other tournaments that give WTA points, something that the Olympic event does not offer.
Those who have used the protected ranking are Rafael Nadal and Pablo Carreño, causing their compatriots Pedro Martínez and Roberto Carballés Baena to be left out of Spain's selection for the Games.
Alcaraz and Nadal, together in doubles!
In addition, it has also been confirmed that Carlos Alcaraz and Rafa Nadal will form one of the two pairs of men's doubles, so you can enjoy a dream duo that already by the mere fact of having formed is history of Spanish tennis.
The other male partner, as expected, will be Marcel Granollers, as he is one of the best players in the world in this discipline. His partner will be Alejandro Davidovich or Pablo Carreño, pending confirmation.
We are facing a very exciting scenario for Spanish tennis. On the one hand, Nadal will play his last Olympic Games in style, on the Roland Garros courts that have given him so much joy throughout his successful career. On the other hand, Alcaraz will return to the facilities where less than a week ago he was proclaimed champion of the Roland Garros for the first time, being the third Grand Slam he has won at only 21 years old.
Both, in addition to playing in the singles draw, will form the doubles pair that we have all been fantasizing about since it was first rumored at the beginning of the season. We can only wait for the Olympic Games to arrive, and for them to continue to make us all dream.

- He's a Cool Dude (and very funny guy). Always fun to be in the presence of Tomasz. Something he mentioned here is what many who have coached at any level can relate to -- "the crazy parents committee". It relates to my coaching experiences in kid's sports. My #1 complaint about coaching kids is Problem Parents!! It can be a very abusive, even violent situation with many parents when it comes to their kid's sports. In the end, it was no longer worth the potential (all too common) altercations for me and I quit. But thanks to Tomasz, I now have a name for those (you?) people: The Crazy Parents Committee.mandoist26-09-2024

- Yes, the Ginger is right... 'you don't have to play'. And we are realizing the results of how players are affected by non-stop scheduling. Everything Iga first mentioned 2 years ago is now coming to fruition as far too many top WTA players cannot maintain their well-being. Therfor having to blow-off several tourneys. It's common sense -- the human body is not a machine! WTA's GREED and insensitivity is no joke.mandoist26-09-2024
