Olympic tennis: Doubles winners Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcarez

For Rafael Nadal, in the midst of the spot where it looked like no one could touch him for nearly two decades, it can never be what it once was.

However, Philippe Chatrier Court may host a different kind of farewell party for the next week or so: one for his nation, one for his scrapbook, and one with his tennis heir.

And so it started on Saturday night: a 38-year-old, balding, aging Rafael Nadal, sporting bandages on his right thigh and an overall disheveled physique, took the court for his final Olympics match alongside 21-year-old sensation Carlos Alcaraz, who has already won four Grand Slam titles and already owned the sport.

Nadal remarked, “It has been an amazing crowd, an electrifying night, and an emotional night.” And it has been really special to play on this court with Carlos. I’m absolutely overjoyed that we won and now have the opportunity to continue.

Before the race, Ariarne Titmus is confused by Katie Ledecky’s lane.

Even though she stole the gold, she nearly stole a lane first.

In the 400-meter freestyle, Australian swimmer Ariarne Titmus easily defeated Summer McKenzie and American Katie Ledecky to win the gold medal in swimming. Cameras did capture a little confusion prior to Titmus’ victory, though: she went to Lane 4, which belonged to Ledecky. The two-time gold medallist gently informed Titmus that she was in the incorrect place. Before the starting gun went off, the two swimmers appeared to be laughing about it.
