Toni Nadal shares training method of the Rafa Nadal Academy
In an interview to we are tennis Rafael Nadal's uncle Toni spoke about his coaching method at the Rafa Nadal Academy. The 58-year-old said: "We are not able to say that the players we coach will be able to get the suggestions we give them in the same way, because that's mostly personal. But in the Academy, we have as a main goal to work like I did with Rafael when he was a kid and then teenager. You need to find talented guys who have the same desire to learn like my nephew had. We exactly know what can work and we want to make Everyone dream of doing the same. Tennis has changed a lot over the years. Rafael had to improve throughout his career, but now you have more time to achieve results, compared to what was happening 20 years ago.
In the 2017 US Open final my nephew faced Kevin Anderson, who achieved his best result at 30 years of age. Many players kept improving until the end of their career. It was not happening before. So at 23 years you are still young. We are trying to help as many players as possible to achieve their dreams. We have Jaume Munar but also Carlos Alcaraz, who may raise a lot in the rankings. Feliciano Lopez, Ferrer, Bautista-Agut and others will soon be replaced. Casper Ruud can become a very good player. He often trains with Rafa", concluded Toni speaking in Mallorca.
