Paris 2024 Olympics Thread - 11th August (pg 430)

Pidcock sat 3rd in the Cycling cross-country, be great if he could defend his title.

Our other rider in the front pack too.
 
Not looking good at all today, but he more than held his own with Alcaraz in their first round match in beating the #6 doubles team from Argentina. His net play was fantastic, so maybe that's his path to future wins, though not sure he'd do that regularly on tour.
Aaargh, Sweet Caroline in between sets! No need..

Guess it depends if Rafa is happy enough to win the odd game here and there like Murray did, or whether not challenging will make him stop.

He doesn’t have much history of doubles, does he?

Bingo

Nadal actually has played over 200 Tour-level doubles matches, picking up 11 titles, including a gold medal from Rio 2016, where he partnered with good friend Marc Lopez.

He played in 7 doubles tournaments back in 2003 when he was young and able to do both, and again, his serves and net play alone make him a great partner, so I don't see why not if he wants to, especially if he gets the right partner.
