Alcaraz and Nadal to be Olympic doubles partners

Spaniards Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal will team up to be doubles partners at next month's Olympic Games in Paris.

The tennis will be played on clay at Roland Garros - home of the French Open - where 21-year-old Alcaraz was victorious last week, securing his third Grand Slam title.

Nadal, 38, is a 22-time major winner, with a record 14 championships coming at Roland Garros.

The Games begin on 26 July with the tennis tournaments starting a day later.

"One pair, which I think everyone knows and was hoping for, is Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal," said Spain's national team coach, David Ferrer.
