Rafa announced he is going to play doubles together with Carlos Alcaraz at the Olympics in Paris this summer. Very interesting decision, I wonder who initiated this: Rafa or the Spanish tennis federation? Rafa is known to be an average doubles player with rather poor performance at the net. Spain, on the other hand, have one of the longest rosters in sport and can choose from at least a dozen of top level players. What do you think? Is Rafa the right candidate?
To be honest, I would not pick him or let him play if it was anywhere else. He's out of form, is always an injury risk and there are better options available.
He's won gold in both singles and doubles category and I'd give the chance to somebody else.
However, considering that it's being held in Paris he deserves the chance. I hope they win it.
probably I have this feeling due his poor performance and lack of physical condition.
