Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz are set to team up in the doubles competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The Olympic tennis tournament, running from July 27th to August 4th, will be a major highlight for tennis fans, with the men’s doubles gold-medal match scheduled for August 3rd.
Nadal, a seasoned Olympic competitor, previously won gold in singles at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and in doubles at the 2016 Rio Olympics with Marc Lopez. This year, he aims to add another gold to his collection, despite recent reports suggesting he may focus solely on doubles due to a physical issue.
Paired with recent French Open champion Alcaraz, the duo will play their first-round match on July 27th against Argentina’s sixth-seeded team, Maximo Gonzalez and Andres Molteni. A win would pit them against the winners of the match between Wesley Koolhof and Tallon Griekspoor from the Netherlands, or Hungary’s Marton Fucsovics and Fabian Marozsan.
Potential quarter-final opponents include the fourth-seeded American team of Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram, or Australia’s Alex de Minaur and Alexei Popyrin. In the semi-finals, the Spanish pair could face strong contenders such as Germany’s second-seeded Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz or their first-round opponents Daniil Medvedev and Roman Safiullin.
If Nadal and Alcaraz reach the gold-medal match, they could face top-seeded Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori, or other formidable teams like Matthew Ebden and John Peers, Stefanos and Petros Tsitsipas, Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic, Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul, or Felix Auger-Aliassime and Milos Raonic.
The Spanish duo will begin their campaign on Court Philippe-Chatrier, aiming to navigate a challenging draw to secure Olympic gold.
