Carlos Alcaraz: It’s A Shame Rafael Nadal Is Not Playing Monte Carlo
- 9 Comments
Carlos Alcaraz came to bloom just as his Spanish hero Rafael Nadal began to fade. The 20-year-old has played just a handful of events with Nadal when both are Grand Slam winners, and of course they won’t be together this week at the Monte Carlo Masters as Nadal has already withdrawn.
“I didn’t see him too much around, we didn’t share too many tournaments,” Alcaraz said. “I really want to you see him around, playing the tournaments but if he’s not here it doesn’t change too much for me.
“But obviously talking as a fan of tennis, it’s a it’s a shame that Rafa is not playing in this tournament.”
Alcaraz still would love the chance to play doubles with Nadal at the Paris Olympics.
“Of course it would be a dream I have hope to to play doubles with him in the Olympic games,” he said. “But is four months from now so everything can can change or can happen so let’s see. For me it would be would be great.”
Alcaraz, who turns 21 next month, could face Djokovic in his Monte Carlo semifinals. He could face Felix Auger Aliassime in his opener.
