Carlos Alcaraz has arrived in Malaga with a determined focus: to help Spain secure the Davis Cup title as Rafael Nadal prepares for his farewell season. The 21-year-old, fresh off a successful 2024 campaign, is embracing the opportunity to play a pivotal role in the tournament, honoring the legacy of his legendary compatriot.
Nadal, who announced that 2025 would mark the end of his illustrious career, has been a source of inspiration for Alcaraz throughout his meteoric rise. While the 38-year-old is not part of the Spanish squad in Malaga, his presence looms large, with Alcaraz keen to deliver a victory that could set the stage for a memorable farewell tour.
The Davis Cup offers Alcaraz an opportunity to further cement his status as Nadal’s heir apparent while contributing to one of Spain’s most storied tennis traditions. A victory in Malaga would be a fitting tribute to Nadal’s legacy and a testament to the new generation’s ability to carry the torch forward.
