Carlos Alcaraz to break into the list of elites if he wins Gold; list features legends like Nadal and Graff

The Paris Olympics have a lot of favourites who can go on to win the Olympics but the player who is one of the favourites to win the gold in the men's singles is none other than Carlos Alcaraz. The 21-year-old Spaniard has already achieved major feats early in his career with 4 Grand Slams to his name before turning 22. Alcaraz has had another great season this year as he has won two Grand Slams and is playing in his first Olympic event this season where he is among the highest-ranked and higher-seeded players.

Carlos Alcaraz has had a great time in the Paris Olympics as well he has gotten through his first two rounds already where he has achieved two straight victories over Hady Habib and Tallon Griekspoor. The world number 3 will now be going into round 3 after two great performances in his first two Olympic games. The Spaniard is just one win away from making it to the quarter-finals and we are sure he is the favourite in those games as well. This has been a great season for Alcaraz and he will want to continue winning and keep his Olympic dream alive in this event.

Carlos to enter the elite list after achieving Olympic glory

There is no doubt that Carlos Alcaraz is one of the biggest contenders for a gold medal in the Paris Olympics 2024. The Spaniard has already broken some big records in his career and if he goes on to win an Olympic Gold medal, he will go on to join an elite list that features only two major legends so far. Carlos Alcaraz has already won the French Open and Wimbledon this season if he goes on to win an Olympic Gold medal as well, he will be only the third player after Steffi Graff and Rafael Nadal to get a Channel Slam and Olympic Gold medal in the same year. Graff had achieved the feat back in 1988 whereas Nadal had done it in 2008. If Alcaraz enters this list, this will be another great milestone in his career which will be remembered by everyone in the Tennis World.

The game of Alcaraz has been growing from strength to strength and he is already a young superstar who is set to take the reigns from the big three. There might still be a long way to go and there are still some more great contenders who will make it tough for Alcaraz in his first Olympics event, but seeing him perform consistently throughout this season, it will be no surprise that accomplishes this and goes on to join the likes of Steffi Graff and his number one idol Rafael Nadal.
