streaming details

Viewers can watch the special clash between Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz live on Netflix. The live telecast will be in both English and Spanish languages.

Rafael Nadal easily beat Carlos Alcaraz in their first career meeting, in the second round of 2021 Madrid Masters, for the loss of just three games. The Spaniard met his younger rival less than a year later at Indian Wells. This time around, Nadal needed three sets to dispatch his compatriot.

Alcaraz, however, finally managed to beat the then-21-time Major winner a few months later in Madrid. He put up a tremendous display to outplay his opponent 6-2, 1-6, 6-3.

The young Spaniard had a great week at the ATP Masters 1000 tournament back then. He went on to beat Novak Djokovic in three sets in the next match, before clinching the title against Aleaxander Zverev in the final.

Alcaraz, on the other hand, said he was honored to face Nadal as the latter is "one of the nicest guys" on the ATP Tour.

“I’m honored and so happy to be sharing the court with Rafa in Las Vegas," he said. "He’s an all-time great, of course, and his records and achievements speak for themselves. Rafa also is one of the nicest guys on Tour and I look forward to our match on March 3.”
