Rafael Nadal has recently announced that his Uncle Toni decided not to coach him anymore because he didn’t want to travel. However, well-known Spanish outlet La Marca made the shocking announcement that Tony will be back to coaching after agreeing to partner with Felix Auger Aliassime.
Apparently, Toni will follow Felix in the most important tournaments, and therefore, he will travel with the young Canadian to Monte Carlo where Auger-Aliassime may very well clash against Rafael Nadal.
Felix has already trained several times at the Rafa Nadal Academy and apparently he was quite pleased with the way of coaching of Toni Nadal. This is going to be interesting.
