Felix Auger-Aliassime has now confirmed that Toni is no longer "actively" a part of his team

Felix Auger-Aliassime has given an update on his coaching relationship with Toni Nadal after reaching the semi-final of the Madrid Open. The Canadian hired Rafael Nadal's uncle and former coach in 2021 but Toni has been absent from his box over the last few months. Auger-Aliassime has now confirmed that Toni is no longer "actively" a part of his team, though they are still in touch.

​

Toni is still listed as one of Auger-Aliassime's coaches on the official ATP website. But the status of their partnership has been unclear for several months, with the Spaniard spending his time in Mallorca instead of travelling with the world No. 35.
And Auger-Aliassime confirmed on Thursday that the 63-year-old was no longer an active part of his team, though he remains with his long-time coach Frederic Fontang, who joined him in Madrid. "My coach has been here this whole tournament, Frederic, you saw him on the court. My physio, my friends, hitting partner," he said after getting a walkover into the Madrid Open semi-final.
"And no, Toni is back home. So far we are travelling just this team together." With Toni no longer a part of the team, Auger-Aliassime's dad is joining the 23-year-old at more and more tournaments.

I didn't think I'd participate on this topic but since it's so loud, I'd say it's necessary to point out that FAA may not be completely honest about the whole story. Feels as if Felix wants to rub in it Toni's face now as he's got to Madrid semis.

FAA does not strike me as that sort of person.

I think he said that it wasn't out of the question that he would work with Toni again, although I doubt that would happen...
