Rafael Nadal reacts to Carlos Alcaraz sending heartwarming message to Spaniard after their final battle at Six Kings Slam


Rafael Nadal saw and reacted to the heartwarming message sent by Carlos Alcaraz after their showdown in the Six Kings Slam in Riyadh. The 22 Grand slam winner succumbed to the 21 year old in their semifinal battle.





Nadal who recently failed to reach to final this year but I still think reaching semifinal in a tournament with great players like Djokovic, Sinner, Alcaraz, and etc is a great feat and remember Nadal is 38 years old.


Hear Alcaraz's thought on facing Nadal for 1 last time:

"It was a privilege to play against Rafa one last time! ❤️ Once again, thank you for your legacy and for being an inspiration to all of us! See you very soon in Malaga, but this time both wearing the colors of 🇪🇸 @riyadhseason."
