(Reuters) -Spain's Rafa Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz will team up to play doubles at this year's Olympics in Paris, the Royal Spanish Tennis Federation (RFET) said on Wednesday, but former world number two Paula Badosa will skip the Games.

Nadal won an Olympic singles gold medal in 2008 and a doubles gold in 2016, but the Paris Games will be Alcaraz's first as he returns to Roland Garros where he was crowned French Open champion on Sunday.
