Regarding the Olympics, Djokovic said that there are a lot of expectations from the Olympics and I cannot change it and I do not want to change it either. These inspire me to perform my best and achieve the best results. On the other hand, Alcaraz said about Nadal that there is no better way to make your debut in the Olympic Games than to form a doubles partnership with Nadal. We will perform our best with full willpower, with a lot of enthusiasm and give people a chance to enjoy it.
