Carlos Alcaraz Expresses Admiration and Respect for Rafa Nadal: A True Tennis Legend

In case there was any doubt about the admiration and respect that Carlos Alcaraz feels for Rafa Nadal, and vice versa, both have demonstrated it through a publication of the Cincinnati Masters 1,000, in which the Murcian surrenders to one of his references in the world of tennis.

Rafa was my hero when I was young and I started playing tennis….when I was growing up.”

“I want to be one of the best tennis players in history. To be in the same place as the legend, Rafa. He was my hero when I was young and I started playing tennis. See his matches, his finals, lift the best trophies in the world …”, said Alcaraz.

Rafa Nadal himself, who continues with his recovery process to try to return to the courts in 2024, shared the publication on his Instagram profile and commented: “A big hug and good luck in Turin.” The dream of many would be to see them play together in possible doubles at the next Olympic Games in Paris, which can be seen through Eurosport.

For his part, the current world number two has his next stop at the ATP Finals 2023, which are being held this weekend in Turin. It will be the last tournament that El Palmar will compete in and it will do so with the added bonus that it has never competed in the competition that brings together the best players of the year in the ATP ranking.
