Fans gathered on the Philippe Chatrier Court cheered passionately for their favorite players, who were dubbed ‘Nadalcaraz’ by supporters.

Fresh off his victories at the French Open and Wimbledon, Alcaraz seemed to be having the time of his life playing alongside Nadal, someone he deeply admires. The young star delivered some impressive shots, including a backhand winner that gave them a crucial break in the second set.

As the match progressed, the excitement grew. Nadal set up match point with powerful plays, and the electric crowd couldn’t contain their excitement, chanting “Rafa, Rafa.” The duo wrapped up their first victory with a volley from Alcaraz, earning them a well-deserved standing ovation from the audience.
