Alcaraz is stepping up his preparations to be in top form for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. If the Spaniard wins the Olympic medal, he will be part of an elite group of players who have achieved the triple crown of Roland Garros, Wimbledon and the Olympic Games in the same year. 

If he succeeds, he will join compatriot Rafa Nadal, who achieved the feat in 2008 when he won his fourth Roland Garros title, followed by ten more, and then triumphed on the grass at Wimbledon, defeating Roger Federer in one of the greatest matches of all time.

The reigning French Open and Wimbledon champion is now finalising his preparations for the Olympic tennis tournament before heading to Paris. The event begins on 27 July and Alcaraz will compete in both singles and doubles with Rafa Nadal.

One of the stars of the Paris event will be Alcaraz. The tennis sensation will be looking to make history in 2024 and take gold in the French capital after dominating at Roland Garros and Wimbledon this year.

The 21-year-old Alcaraz works hard both on the courts in Murcia and in the gym. He has taken to social media to share some photos of his strength and conditioning sessions. He is preparing for Paris 2024.

This year in Paris, he will be up against some high-profile rivals who are looking for an Olympic success to end their careers. Among them is former world number one Novak Djokovic, whom he defeated in the Wimbledon final a few weeks ago. 

There is also Andy Murray, a two-time Olympic gold medallist and the only player to have won two individual gold medals. There is also Jannik Sinner, the current world number one, who along with Alcaraz is one of the up-and-coming talents looking to make his mark in the sport.

Alcaraz's plan is to travel to Paris on Monday to acclimatise and get used to the Parisian courts. He is familiar with them from his tournaments in the French capital. Training and rest is how the Spanish champion is recharging his batteries these days. This is his second London tournament after winning Wimbledon.

It is clear that the Murcian's motivation is total, as playing alongside the 38-year-old Rafael Nadal and forming a partnership in Paris also means a lot to him. Nadal is achieving what he set out to do. To reach the Olympic Games, which will be the final event of his career, with a high level of performance. 

Last week, Nadal lost to Nuno Borges in the final in Bastad in his 131st career final and could not claim his 93rd title. He was beaten 6-3, 6-2 by Nuno Borges and since 2015, when he lost to Andy Murray at the Mutua Madrid Open, he had not lost a final on clay. 

His preparation was aimed at arriving in the best possible condition for this surface. In Bastad, Nadal has teamed up with Casper Ruud to work on his clay game.
