Nishikori drew the defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in the first round at Roland Garros. However, the 35-year-old will not challenge the Spaniard after deciding to miss the clay Major.

Spanish tennis great Rafael Nadal accused Netflix of approaching their Carlos Alcaraz documentary ‘in the wrong way’.

Carlitos was also defended by his illustrious compatriot Rafael Nadal, who will receive a special tribute from the French Open organizers on Sunday at the end of the 'Day 1' matches. According to the latest rumors, Alcaraz is expected to be present at the ceremony along with Roger Federer and Nole Djokovic.

Carlos Alcaraz's childhood coach Carlos Santos believes the Spaniard is already a more complete player than his legendary compatriot Rafael Nadal. The 22-year-old is already regarded as one of the best players in the world currently playing in men’s tennis in the singles category.

At only 22, Carlos Alcaraz is the seven-time Masters 1000 champion! The Spaniard defeated Jannik Sinner in the Rome Masters final, lifting his second shield at the premium ATP level this spring.

Alcaraz returned to action at the Rome Masters 1000 – the last huge event before Roland Garros – where he clinched his seventh career Masters 1000 after struggling in the early rounds. The 4-time Grand Slam champion has fully recovered from his injury and is ready to compete in Paris from Sunday 25 May.

Rafael Nadal, the record holder for the most Roland Garros titles, shared his candid thoughts on Carlos Alcaraz’s statement about not wanting to become a “slave of tennis.”
