The former coach and uncle of Rafa Nadal, who has won 22 Grand Slam titles and won the Olympic singles title in 2008 and the doubles in 2016, believes the Spanish duo can win gold in Paris in 2024. Spain sighs with its dream pair.

The Scot underwent a "surgical procedure" on his back on Saturday and is expeced to be out six weeks, missing the London tournament for sure and maybe even the Olympics. The 37-year-old was forced to make the decision when he retired in the second round at Queen's.

The Spanish tennis player is improving his physical condition ahead of the Olympic Games. He will compete in both singles and doubles. Nadal is already training at Movistar's Rafa Nadal Academy in his home town of Manacor. After pulling out of Wimbledon to avoid any risk to his physical condition, his focus is now on Olympic gold.

Former world number one Novak Djokovic has confirmed he will compete in the singles at this summer's Olympic Games. He could also team up with compatriot Dusan Lajovic in the doubles. The Serb is currently recovering from a knee injury.

The two greatest players in Spanish tennis history will form the doubles team at the Olympic Games. The pair will also compete in the singles tournament, where they will be chasing the gold medal that Nadal won in Beijing in 2008.
At Rio 2016, the 22-time Grand Slam champion also won the Olympic doubles title.

Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz fought hard to beat Alexander Zverev in the Roland Garros final, triumphing in five sets. Rafael Nadal's successor won his first French Open title and his third Grand Slam, becoming the youngest player to win all three surfaces at major tournaments.

One of these two will succeed Novak Djokovic at the French Open on Sunday. The Spaniard defeated Sinner in an intense semi-final that lasted more than four hours. The German beat Casper Ruud in four sets despite suffering from a stomach ache. At 21, Alcaraz is the youngest player to have reached a final on all surfaces: clay, grass and hard courts.

A knee injury has forced Novak Djokovic out of the French Open ahead of his scheduled quarter-finals match for Wednesday against Casper Ruud. His unexpected ‘adieu’ means that Jannik Sinner will become Italy's first men's world number one next week.

German tennis star Alexander Zverev failed to appear in court last Friday as his trial for alleged assault by an ex-girlfriend began in Berlin. Zverev is accused of "briefly choking" her. He was fined €450,000 ($487,000) but is appealing the decision. A year after the alleged incident, the complaint was filed.

Rafael Nadal's illustrious French Open career came to a likely end with his first ever defeat in the opening round by Alexander Zverev on Monday, after Iga Swiatek made a winning start in her bid for a fourth title, Agence France-Presse reported early Tuesday. 

It's fitting that Rafa Nadal is making his big comeback on the same clay courts where he made his tennis legend and where he may soon say 'adieu' to the sport, either at the upcoming French Open or just a month and a half later at the Olympic Games.

Less than a week before Roland Garros and just over two months before the Paris 2024 Olympics, the Spaniard isn't sure if he'll be able to play in both events in his final season as a professional. His wish is to be there, but "we'll see what happens," he said.

The Austrian tennis player will end his career at the end of this season, having reached his peak in 2020, but injuries have prevented him from developing any further. A severely restricted wrist and an "inner feeling" have led him to decide to end his career at the end of this season. Thiem managed to beat the 'Big Three': Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer.

Australian Open champion Jannik Sinner said on Sunday that he will only play at the French Open if he is fully fit. He was forced to withdraw from the Madrid Open last week with a hip injury. "If I'm not feeling well, I'll take more time off," he said.

If Paris 2024 organisers were hoping for a headliner tennis event in their upcoming Games schedule, Carlos Alcaraz was happy to provide a grand slam billboard on Tuesday, when he speculated on a possible dream duo with fellow Spaniard Rafa Nadal in the men’s doubles brackett.
