Fans will be able to tune into Netflix through a smart TV or through the streamer’s app or website.
Nadal had to miss a lot of the 2023 season due to injury, while Alcaraz has been on the rise during this time, having won two Grand Slam titles by the age of 20.
The Indian Wells Masters, an ATP 1000 event, is also set to begin the following day, Monday, March 4, so it is unclear how this is going to affect both players’ game.
Ahead of the Netflix match, Nadal and Alcaraz spoke of their excitement for the match.
Nadal said: “I’m very excited for my first visit to Las Vegas.
"I’m also very excited to be playing with my fellow countryman Carlos Alcaraz. I am sure it will be a fantastic night of tennis.”
Alcaraz added: “I’m honoured and so happy to be sharing the court with Rafa in Las Vegas.
“He’s an all-time great, of course, and his records and achievements speak for themselves.”
