Asked on Instagram if he’s excited to play a match against US Open champion Carlos Alcaraz, Nick Kyrgios responded by challenging Carlos to a match in Spain.
“I’m always ready. Carlos Alcaraz, let’s kick off a great game in Spain,” Kyrgios wrote on his Instagram Stories accompanied by numerous “money bag” emojis, suggesting cash would be involved.
Federer and Nadal could play in Madrid.
According to a hypothesis from Spain, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer could play an exhibition match at the Santiago Bernabeu. Rafael Nadal, however, has some doubts about it: “I have no idea and I don’t think Madrid are obsessed with it.
If at some point such a request arises, obviously I would be very enthusiastic, but then we also have to wait for Roger’s response.” Carlos Alcaraz has faced Rafa twice this season and would like to face him again , this time at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.
Alcaraz recognizes that this stadium will most likely be reserved for a Nadal vs Federer encounter in the future, but he would like to meet his great compatriot in their city. The Bernabeu have already displayed a banner with Rafael Nadal.
Back in 2018, Rafael Nadal appeared on Los Blancos’ fan banner for a game against Paris Saint Germain in the Champions League. The banner depicted Nadal applauding after one of his victories, in order to boost the footballers.
Real Madrid won against PSG 3-1 in the first phase of the knockout draw, with two goals from Cristiano Ronaldo. Nadal’s PR manager Benito Barbadillo was there, but Rafa wasn’t there.
