Nadal was last absent from Wimbledon, the Olympic Games and the US Open with a foot injury that he sustained at the French Open in May. But: “We have learned to deal with his injury problems,” said the current coach of Félix Auger-Aliassime.
The expectations for the coming season are correspondingly high: “He is looking forward to starting at a top level in 2022. I am confident that 2022 will be a good year for him,” said Toni Nadal.
However, the 60-year-old also knows that the next generation is getting stronger and stronger: “The reality is that it gets more difficult from year to year. Year after year, the youngsters are moving closer to the top.” Most recently, the Russian Daniil Medvedev celebrated his first Grand Slam success at the US Open.
