On Friday at Roland Garros, Rafa Nadal practised with his doubles partner Carlos Alcaraz amidst concerns about his fitness for the upcoming Olympics tennis competition.
The 38-year-old, who missed a training session due to a thigh injury, wore strapping on his right thigh during practice but seemed unaffected.
Nadal and Alcaraz are set to start their quest for gold on Saturday, with Nadal also scheduled to compete in the singles.
While doubts linger about his fitness, there is optimism that he will participate in both events, although prioritising doubles over singles is a possibility if his recovery doesn't go well.
Despite the uncertainty, there are hopes for a successful outcome in the doubles competition.
