This Sunday, qualifying kicks off for the $ 15,000 Manacor. An event that attracted many French people like Clement Tabur, seed n ° 1, Fabien Reboul (n°3), Kenny De Creator (n ° 5) or Jurgen Briand (n°11). But in the table of 64, we immediately notice a name: Joan Nadal Vives. This is the last of three children of Toni Nadal, the famous mentor of Rafael Nadal. After taking a step back and leaving the operations management to Carlos Moya, “Uncle” Toni remains very active in the Academy of Manacor. Recently, we saw him supervise Felix Auger-Aliassime (photo), come to carry out his winter preparation in the Balearics.

If Toni Nadal offered a wild card to her 16-year-old son, it is as much because he feels he has a certain talent as to put him in the stirrup … De son prore Admission, he has always been hard on Rafael and surely wants to show his son the difficulty of fulfilling his dreams. On “his” courts, the Mallorcan had a difficult experience facing Kusez Cekirge. The Turk, 1312th in ATP, logically won 6-1, 6-3. As the Academy is organizing another $ 15,000 in January, we’ll see if Joan Nadal Vives will be offered another chance.
