The two Spanish players, currently number 1 and 2 in the world, will face each other on March 5, before the Indian Wells tournament
They are currently the top two players in the ATP rankings, but their challenge has much more meaning. Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal will face off March 5 for an exhibition match in Las Vegas. The bout has been given the name “The Slam” and will be staged at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Nadal announced it on social media.
The challenge
—
The two have met three times in ATP tournaments, with Nadal winning the first two games (in Madrid and Indian Wells) and Alcaraz who managed to beat his idol in the last challenge, also on clay in Madrid. Who knows what the ranking will be at the time of the exhibition between the two Spanish players and, above all, if it will be the first match of the year between Carlos and Rafa: before the match in Las Vegas, the Australian Open will have already been played, as well as several tournaments 500. The exhibition match will in fact be the starter for the Sunshine Double, the Indian Wells-Miami pairing: the first will last from March 8 to 19, the second from April 22 to 5.
December 7 – 12:01
