Although it could not be completed, it has been a tennis-filled first day of emotions in these Paris 2024 Olympic Games, especially for Carlos Alcaraz who was making his debut in this event and ends this first day with a double triumph: one in his singles match against Hady Habib, and the other with Rafa Nadal in that doubles match against González/Molteni at Philippe Chatrier.

"It's a very beautiful experience that I have been able to live on the court, I'm already looking forward to playing another match so that it can be repeated," Carlitos said in the mixed zone, as reported by Marca, debuting in his first Olympic Games and experiencing the unique atmosphere of such an event. "The atmosphere is different, there are many flags, it's something we're not very used to seeing during the circuit. The energy experienced is completely different and special."

About his singles debut

"There are some details that I need to improve on and that have cost me, but I think it's something normal and as I play more and spend more hours competing, I will improve. I felt quite good on clay in my first match after Wimbledon. Playing on a different surface is always difficult, but I felt very good and with very good sensations," explained the player from Murcia.

His partnership with Rafa

"The truth is that my dream was to be able to participate in an Olympic Games. For me, representing your country in a competition is one of the greatest things in sport and in the world. For me, it is an honor to carry the flag, to represent Spain. I'm not used to playing doubles, I hadn't done it since 2022, but I love it. It's a pleasure to play with Rafa on this court. It has been a unique moment for me. Double dream fulfilled, being able to play doubles with Rafa in the Olympic Games," said Alcaraz to Eurosport's microphones.
