Rafael Nadal will be playing doubles at the Paris Olympics with Carlos Alcaraz, who asked his Instagram followers to suggest names for their team. Fans posted many suggestions, such as Nadalcaraz, Alcadal, and Raflitos. However, for Rafa and Carlos, just being together on the court means far more than any nickname they might acquire.

What we will be called will depend on the result. We will try to remember this [the Olympic experience] in a positive way. We are going to leave with the peace of mind of having done everything that is possible.

There’s no better way to make your Games’ debut than by forming a doubles partnership with Rafa. We’ll do our best, with the greatest desire, with a lot of enthusiasm while making people enjoy it.

Well said, guys. We are looking forward to seeing you play together and hoping you win the gold medal for Spain. Vamooooos!
