Rafael Nadal’s uncle speaks out after new pupil Felix Auger-Aliassime loses to Spaniard | Tennis | Sport
“If Felix played against my son… I wouldn’t want him to win. This is the same.” He also claimed that he was not planning on attending Sunday’s clash at all, adding last week: “I’ve told Felix’s coach that tomorrow [Saturday] I’ll be at the training session, but I won’t on Sunday. I don’t want to know what he tells him so that I’m not tempted to tell Rafael, whom, of course, I won’t be telling any tactics either.”
By Rafa’s own admission, his injury issues show no sign of going away permanently, and he has previously discussed that his outlook is about coping with the pain rather than looking for a solution. He showed an ability to dig deep at the Australian Open earlier this year and assessed his Auger-Aliassime tie with a cool head after expending plenty of energy on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
