Both Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal are struggling with worn-out bodies during the Olympic Games tennis. But it doesn't stop the duo from advancing in the doubles tournament.
Against the Dutch Tallon Griekspoor and Wesley Koolhof, it was a tough match.
The teams won one set each and it all came down to a decisive tiebreak. But there was no doubt.
"Nadalcaraz", as the doubles pair has been called on social media, won clearly and convincingly with the numbers 10–2 and advanced to the quarterfinals.
There, they will face Americans Austin Krajicek and Tajeev Ram, who are seeded fourth in the tournament.
