As per Rafael Nadal’s speech, Uncle Toni was absolutely essential for Rafa’s career.
Toni has always been a mentor and a coach for his nephew; they have traveled the world together for years, and they have spent an incredible amount of time on a practice court.
After Nadal won his 10th Roland Garros, both Rafa and Toni were completely emotional. In the mean time that the Roland Garros organization was preparing the stage for the final ceremony, Uncle Toni was in tears barely managing to talk during an interview.
This is how much Toni was into it.
