Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz lost to Americans Austin Krajicec and Rajeev Ram (6-2 and 6-4) and were eliminated from the fight for medals in the men’s doubles tournament at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
The Americans, fourth seeds, who took one hour and 38 minutes to complete their quarter-final, will play the Czechs Tomas Machac and Adam Pavlasek in the semi-finals.
Rafael Nadal in Paris
Rafael Nadal is now a Parisian and that is why the city gave him a central role in the opening ceremony of its Games and his presence was not out of place alongside the local idols, receiving the torch from the hands of Zinedine Zidane, one of the most beloved figures by the French.
It was the opening of a relationship that has been built up over the years, with sporting successes, but also with a way of being, a humility and a devotion to effort that have earned him a place in the hearts of the French.
His reign has been so long that many spectators walking through the halls of Roland Garros do not remember the tournament without Rafa.
Paris has danced to the rhythm of Rafael Nadal’s racket and the city has become accustomed to the melody of his triumphs, his few defeats, his absences and his rhetoric of almost tragic surrender.
