Nadal, Alcaraz to play in Davis Cup Finals

MALAGA, Spain — Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz were named to Spain's roster for the Davis Cup Finals on Monday (Tuesday in Manila), raising the possibility of a renewal of their 'Nadalcaraz' doubles partnership from the Paris Olympics.

Nadal, a 22-time Grand Slam champion who is 38, hasn't competed anywhere since the Paris Games, where he lost in the second round of singles to longtime rival Novak Djokovic and paired with Alcaraz to get to the quarterfinals of men's doubles before exiting against Americans Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram.
