If Paris 2024 goes the right way, this summer’s Olympic Games could be the last time Rafael Nadal plays professional tennis. Twice a gold medallist at the Olympics – Beijing 2008 and Rio 2016 – Nadal is now past his best and stricken by injuries. However, with the Olympics happening at his favourite Roland Garros, he could leave us with a glorious swansong.

The winner of 14 French Open titles, Nadal will face tough opposition in the form of compatriot Carlos Alcaraz and long-time foe Novak Djokovic. In what could be a romantic end to his career, Nadal will also pair up with Alcaraz in the men’s doubles event.
