His last appearance?
Goodbye Paris! Nadal also eliminated in the doubles
Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz lost their quarter-final match against Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram from the USA. It could have been the 38-year-old Nadal's last appearance in Paris.
The doubles competition has been over for Nadal and Alcaraz since Wednesday. The Spanish pairing lost 2:6, 4:6 to US doubles specialists Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram in the quarter-finals.
End of Nadal's career?
The Spaniards conceded an early break in the first set and were subsequently unable to get back into the match. However, Nadal and Alcaraz kept the second set open for a long time. In the end, however, there was another break, from which the duo were unable to recover.
It could have been Nadal's last appearance in Paris. The end of his career has been on the cards for some time. It currently seems more than doubtful that he will return to the French Open in 2025.
