ALCARAZ LAUDS NADAL’S INCLUSION IN SPAIN’S DAVIS CUP TEAM IN NOVEMBER

Furthermore, Alcaraz lauds Nadal’s inclusion in Spain’s Davis Cup team in November in Malaga.

Moreover, the 21-year-old four-time Grand Slam champion hopes that tournament will be the last for the 22-time major winner.

“I don’t want to think that it’s a potential last dance for him (Nadal) in Malaga. I just want to… enjoy seeing him on court as much as I can,” Alcaraz said.

“It’s always great having Rafa around. I miss him,” he added.

Alcaraz and Nadal on Monday were named to Spain’s lineup for the Davis Cup finals.

Fans are hoping that their “Nadalcaraz” collaboration will lead to another doubles partnership, like the one they had at the Paris Olympics.

CARLOS SAYS RAFA ‘CAN BRING A LOT OF EXPERIENCE’ TO SPAIN’S DAVIS CUP TEAM

Moreover, Alcaraz says Nadal’s presence “can bring a lot of experience” to Spain’s Davis Cup team.

“It’s great support having him in the team. He can bring a lot of experience to the Davis Cup,” Alcaraz said.

Moreover, Nadal is scheduled to play in the November 19-24 eight-team finals in his first competitive tournament since the Paris Games in July.

The 38-year-old has been plagued by injuries since 2023, even as he skipped the US Open and Laver Cup this month.

There’s speculation that the Davis Cup could be the last event for Nadal before calling it quits this year.

LAVER CUP DEBUT TO HELP ALCARAZ’S MOMENTUM AFTER LEADING TEAM EUROPE TO TITLE

Furthermore, Alcaraz’s Laver Cup debut recently would help his momentum after he led Team Europe to the title.

Moreover, the world No.3 admitted to missing Nadal in the tennis version of golf’s Ryder Cup.

“I’m not going to lie. I missed him (Nadal) in the Laver Cup,” Alcaraz said.

“Obviously;y, as much as I can spend with him, it’s a privilege for me,” he added.

Alcaraz is next scheduled to play in the China Open, which begins on Thursday.
