Is it just me, or could Uncle Toni produce other champions?

I've been reading interviews with "Uncle" Toni Nadal lately, and this guy seriously knows his stuff. He also appears to be a motivational genius (similar in some ways to the renkowned Portugese soccer coach, Jose Mourinho). I think he's the one who actually drilled Rafa's work ethic into him, as opposed to Nadal just being "born" that way.

I really do feel Toni Nadal is probably the best coach on the circuit, and anyone would be thankful to have him. I think Andy Murray would probably have a Grand Slam by now if he was coached by Uncle Toni. And I suspect Toni might be the one guy capable of forcing Roger Federer to make the changes neccesary in his game to stay on top, and keep beating the younger guys.

probably. But i dont know how many parents would be willing to sign their children up for a lifetime of private coaching with some guy called 'uncle toni'.

Haha!

It does sound a bit creepy and sinister in that context. After all, he's nobody else's "Uncle", yet everyone seems to call him that.

Possibly, but not someone of Nadal's calibre--he is, erm, unique. Have to give both the credit for all the success they have so far. Nadal has done his job as the obedient gladiator while Toni is a great master who manages his unique fighter's potential well.

Your post is riddled with sexual innuendo..."stay on top", "uncle Toni producing other champions", "thankful to have him", "drilled Rafa", "forcing Roger Federer", "Grand Slam" "keep beating younger guys", "feel Uncle Toni"

this should be in the forum, dude

That's an "interesting" way of reading my post.

You really have a wild imagination

But seriously, I do recall Uncle T saying that he's coach Federer differently to Nadal, to suit the requirements of Fed's game and style.

Fed could really use Uncle T's wisdom right about now.

Toni said in a recent interview he was not interested in coaching another player. Rafa is a project of a lifetime
