Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz will play doubles together for Spain at the upcoming Paris Olympics, the Spanish tennis federation said Wednesday.


The announcement comes three days after the 21-year-old Alcaraz won the French Open for the first time—earning his third Grand Slam trophy. The same courts used for the French Open each year will host Olympic tennis. Nadal has won the French Open a record 14 times.


Alcaraz, who will play in his first Olympics, is widely seen as the heir to Nadal in Spanish tennis, and has frequently remarked that Nadal was his childhood hero. “Rafa and Carlos will be playing together in Paris,” said Spain captain David Ferrer while announcing the squad.
