“If Nadal does not play Roland Garros, his future is complicated”

EThese days Madrid sounds like a crossed backhand, a direct serve and a pass. Tennis has taken over the city with the Mutua Madrid Open… and everyone wants to see Carlitos. It doesn’t matter if it’s a training session against Dimitrov on a Wednesday at 12 in the morning or the final that everyone is waiting for him to play next Sunday, May 7. The case is to enjoy with Alcaraz, the next king of tennis?

We have been retiring the Big3 for more than five years. The Federer, Nadal and Djokovic who have dominated, and dominate tennis, have not been retired by the great promises. Only time has turned off Federer’s rackets, first, and little by little he is doing the same with Rafa and Nole. Beyond time, and brilliant appearances such as those of Medvedev, Tsitspass or Zverev, only Carlitos Alcaraz has been postulated for more than one course as the great threat. As the great successor.

In less than two years it has gone from being the hope to becoming the successor. Is this edition of the Mutua Madrid Open an Alcaraz against the world? Fernando Carreño and Joan Solsona, MARCA journalists, respond.

The future of Rafael Nadal

Rafa has scored this tournament five times, but injuries have forced him to say no to the Mutua Madrid Open this year. Have we lost the option of seeing Nadal again in Madrid or are we really facing the last days of the elite tennis player Nadal?

“Nadal’s relay has already arrived”, Joan Solsona
