The “Netflix Slam,” a tennis exhibition match between Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz, is scheduled for March 3, 2024, in Las Vegas. This match-up between two of tennis’s biggest stars expands Netflix’s tennis presence, which began with the “Break Point” documentary series.
Nadal had to end his comeback early because of an injury worry, despite Alcaraz having played a regular schedule this season. He made his comeback to competition at Brisbane International last month, having been out for nearly a year.
The Spaniard will now play this exhibition match against Alcaraz. Both Spanish and English will be the languages of the broadcast.
