Alcaraz Expresses Nostalgia for Nadal as He Joins Spain's Davis Cup Team.

Carlos Alcaraz is excited about Rafa Nadal joining Spain's Davis Cup team for the quarter-finals in November, expressing his hope that the event in Malaga won't signal the end of the 22-time Grand Slam champion's illustrious career. 

Alcaraz, who has looked up to Nadal as a mentor, sees this as a thrilling opportunity to compete alongside a legend and wishes for more memorable moments on the court with him. 

The anticipation is building as fans eagerly await what could be a significant chapter in Nadal's journey!

Nadal's selection for the Final 8 from November 19-24 came as a surprise. 

The 38-year-old hasn't played since the Paris Olympics in July and has missed both the U.S. Open and the Laver Cup this month due to fitness issues.

He has mentioned that he plans to conclude his injury-ridden career this year, following a hip injury that required surgery and significantly reduced his playtime in 2023. There’s speculation that the Davis Cup could potentially be his final tournament.
