“I understand the curiosity and the excitement to see us play together. but that doesn’t translate to success. Thinking about it is a mistake. “Carlos hasn’t played a lot of doubles and I haven’t played a lot of doubles or a lot of singles,” Nadal said.
“Let’s go to do your best to do everything possible to reach where can we get (…) we were not prepared together for a tournament like this, with other great couples,” he added.
The former world number one, who hopes to retire later this year after losing almost everything 2023 for hip problemrecognizes that adapting his game to other competition is difficult.
“Things are happening faster and movements are not automatic and we have to find the automatisms that make things come out naturally. “We’ll start training together today and see how we feel.”said the Spaniard.
Alcaraz, 21, is confident that playing on the clay court, where he won just a few weeks ago, will be a plus.
“I hope to adapt quickly to doubles (…) returning to Roland Garros makes me happy and makes it easier. These days of training will be keys to gain confidence and start as early as possible,” he said.
