Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz's hopes for an Olympic medal in men's doubles were dashed when they lost to American duo Rajeev Ram and Austin Krajicek in the quarter-finals, with a score of 6-2, 6-4. This defeat at Roland Garros marks a poignant moment for Nadal, who is widely expected to retire soon, potentially making this his last appearance on the iconic Court Philippe Chatrier. Despite a passionate support from the crowd, the Spaniards struggled against the seasoned American pair, who effectively neutralized their power. Alcaraz continues his campaign in singles and is set to face Tommy Paul in the next round, remaining a contender for a medal. Djokovic, also advancing in singles, expressed his long-standing goal of bringing a medal home to Serbia. The Americans will proceed to the semi-finals to face Czech players Tomas Machac and Adam Pavlasek.
