What Toni Nadal said about his nephew Rafael Nadal?
Since turning into a professional player, Rafael Nadal came in contact with a number of world famous tennis coaches but it was his uncle Mr. Toni Nadal who made him a true superstar since the beginning of his career.
Following Rafa’s unavoidable departure from this year’s Wimbledon, the family and friends’ of the tennis star came forward to back him up at this difficult situation and Toni Nadal is one of them.
Nadal’s uncle has recently stated that Rafael cannot consider quitting in trying circumstances since he is not accustomed to doing so and Toni also claimed that, “The reality of my nephew, indeed, has been the one that I reminded my brother once when he told me that we rushed too many times: “If it hadn’t been like that, Rafael would have lifted half of the Grand Slams he has”.
Toni Nadal’s stronger belief on his nephew Rafael over the years has been proved again by the fact that he never regrets backing the Spanish superstar.
Nadal’s uncle also said in a recent interview that Rafa would never put his health on the risky circumstances and he (Rafael) would do anything to keep his body better with a view to play properly in future tennis tournaments.
