John McEnroe likes to make strong statements… this was rather aggressive!
Rafa seems unable to recover his best tennis and his latest defeat at the hands of world no.103 Dustin Brown was rather depressing even if the German played at his best.
McEnroe is a huge fan of Rafa and he can identify 1 person to blame: Uncle Toni!
McEnroe: Get a new coach
Talking to the BBC the American Legend said “Rafael Nadal is one of the great champions – a class act. He plays with a lot of effort and energy but, dare we say, is it time for some fresh blood in the Nadal camp? Can we say that? Uncle Toni’s going to be upset.
I know that he has had other people like Carlos Costa and they have tried to gently persuade Uncle Toni. He has done a magnificent job since he was a little kid and told him it was a good thing to go left-handed, but clearly at this stage it would appear that some fresh ideas would be in order.”
Then McEnroe ended the interview “I’m saying get a new damn coach!”
Is that right?
