Rafa Nadal & Carlos Alcaraz got a little dressed up ahead of the Netflix Slam. They clean up well. 👔
After their initial Las Vegas pre-cursor exhibition was cancelled last year, both Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz have landed in Las Vegas for their hotly anticipated battle in exhibition competition dubbed The Netflix Slam.
TennisUpToDate has all the information on how to watch the monumental event which will be played to mirror European time unlike Nadal's opener at Indian Wells which will be during the night.
Technically it will be Nadal's return to action with the Spanish king not playing since Brisbane where he lost to Jordan Thompson and was forced out of the Australian Open through injury. He tried to make a return at Qatar, but withdrew pre-tournament citing a setback.
But he has been since seen hitting with Grigor Dimitrov in California ahead of Indian Wells starting so is back on the practice court and will get to test his metal against Alcaraz. The spectacle is the main event with Frances Tiafoe teaming up with Sam Querrey to take on Taylor Fritz and John Isner in the ace challenge.
The event starts at 12:30pm local time and 8:30/9:30 in UK/Europe respectively. As per the Netflix running time, it will last two hours and 30 minutes and will be Netflix's first foray into live tennis.
