Rafael Nadal will not participate in the Monte-Carlo tournament which begins on Sunday. The Spaniard is still not physically ready.

Carlos Alcaraz fears learning bad news in the coming weeks concerning his compatriot. The young tennis prodigy dreams of playing the Olympic doubles with Rafa in Paris this summer. “He has always been my idol. There would be no better way to make your Olympic debut than by playing doubles with him. Let’s see how we both get there, because anything can happen,” concluded the player.
