The Spanish tennis coach David Ferrer confirmed the presence of Rafa Nadal with Carlos Alcaraz in the first round of the doubles tournament of Paris 2024 but did not specify whether the winner of the twenty-second Grand Slam will enter action on Sunday to compete in the individual draw.
“Rafa is fine. He has been training and he feels fine and let’s see how he feels. Let’s see what happens,” he said after the preparatory session this Friday, under the roof of the Phillipe Chatrier court at Roland Garros .
The Spain captain, however, did not ensure that the individual Olympic champion from Beijing 2008 and doubles at Rio 2016 will be brought to the court to play singles. Will doubles be a test for singles?: “I do not know. I’m sure he’ll go with the doubles and we’ll see how he feels.“He told the media about the track.
David Ferrer emphasized that doubles “requires less intensity than singles play.”
“You have to be ready and have the ability to play every point. The individual must be very physically fit. It is not only about playing well but also about being physically ready and in full condition.” he explained.
Nadal returned to training after canceling Thursday’s sessions due to discomfort in his right thigh. He faced training on Friday with a bandage on the damaged area and did so well with Carlos Alcaraz and against the other Spanish pair, Marcel Granollers and Pablo Carreño.
“It is important that they play doubles a little. They play very well but they are not used to playing together. They were seen happy and wellDavid Ferrer added.
