Uncle Toni about Nadal’s injuries and retirement
During a recent interview with El Pais, Toni commented
“The most important thing is that they [top players] appreciate and respect each other, something very necessary. And Rafael wants to continue playing, despite his physical problems.
That is what will continue to be decisive. Until then, who knows. Maybe two or three more years. What I’m saying is that Rafael is not a tennis player, he’s an injured person who plays tennis, and that’s very difficult.”
ALWAYS STRUGGLING AND BATTLING
