Nadal and LeBron are arguably two of the biggest names in sports to have participated in the Olympics 2024. This event in Paris could well be the one final time both these great athletes represent Spain and the United States respectively.
LeBron was the flagbearer for the US contingent at the event, which will be forever be remembered. On the other hand, Nadal carried the Olympic torch, something which normally a top athlete from the host country does.
While Alcaraz is revelling in teaming up with Nadal in the men’s doubles category. The reigning French Open champion is the biggest hope of Spain winning gold in tennis in both the doubles and singles events.
At the time of writing this report, Nadal and Alcaraz lost the first set 2-6 and were locked in at 2-2 in the second set against the quality doubles pair of Rajiv Ram and Austin Krajicek of the United States on Wednesday.
