Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz are getting ready for a unique experience. The two Spanish tennis players will be facing off in Netflix’s first ever live tennis event, “The Netflix Slam.”
Netflix has released the first teaser of the event, which shows footage of Nadal and Alcaraz playing over the years. It shows recordings of Nadal and Alcaraz’s previous encounters, which have been on three separate occasions, with Nadal in a 2-1 lead. The trailer is also made up of press conference moments and some interviews with Alcaraz where he reveals that he doesn’t “feel pressure” when playing tennis.
Their last match took place in May 2022, at the Madrid Open. Alcaraz came out victorious, winning in three sets.
