Playing just a day after Nadal lost the singles to rival Novak Djokovic and Alcaraz won against Grigspur, the veteran Spanish duo were wearing slightly different shades of red polos and looked like a pairing that had never played together before this tournament.

Nadal and Alcaraz will face the United States, which includes fourth seeds Austin Krajicek and Rajiv Ram, for a spot in the semifinals.
