During his last speech, Toni Nadal, as usual, does not handle the wooden tongue.
According to him, we live in tennis a rather special time: “We live in a time when we do not learn to conjugate the verb to hold: I’m holding on, you’re holding on. I see him at the academy. A lot of boys play well when things are going well, but when things go wrong they fail to control their emotions ” explained the former coach of Rafael Nadal.
He also recalled what he made his nephew endure to help him progress: “In some training sessions, I purposely played with bad, well-used balls. I could also announce that the session would last an hour but I could extend it as long as I wanted ” Toni revealed.
Some will inevitably evoke sadism, others will see it as a way of pushing the player to give the best of himself.
