Pablo Carreño is a little closer to being able to repeat in the Olympic Games. After winning bronze in Tokyo, defeating Novak Djokovic, the tennis player from Gijón’s aspiration was to be able to relive the experience in Paris. For now, and … Despite having gone through an ordeal due to an elbow injury, Carreño has already managed to take the first step: entering the preselection of the Spanish team that presented itself in Barcelona yesterday. «The Paris Olympic event was something super important for me when it came to maintaining that motivation and perseverance at work to try to recover. There is still a month left and I am sure that I will be able to play enough games to get the rhythm I need,” he stated.
The team
Each country will be able to have a maximum of six players in each category (male and female) at the Paris Olympic Games, although only four men and as many women will be able to play the doubles draw. The tennis player from Gijón maintains the hope of being able to share the court with Marcel Granollers.
The Spanish team is made up of Pablo Carreño himself, Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz, Alejandro Davidovich and Marcel Granollers in the men’s competition. The men’s coach, David Ferrer, has already announced that one of the doubles pairs will be Nadal and Alcaraz. In the female part, the preselected are Sara Sorribes and Cristina Bucsa. Finally, Paula Badosa has been left out due to a problem using the protected ranking. «We have a great team and we are going to play at Roland Garros. We hope to bring joy to Spanish sport,” said the men’s coach, David Ferrer.
