Londres. (dpa).- Toni Nadal, tío y entrenador del español Rafael Nadal, admitió hoy que no tiene soluciones para la serie de derrotas del tenista ante el serbio Novak Djokovic. "Si tuviera una solución, habría tratado de aplicarla hoy, no después de lo de hoy", dijo Toni Nadal tras la derrota de su sobrino en la final de Wimbledon ante Djokovic.

El serbio venció a Nadal en cinco finales consecutivas este año, algo que el español no vivió en toda su vida profesional. Su entrenador no cree que haya manera de evitar que el serbio cierre 2011 como número uno del mundo. "¿Posibilidades? (Nadal) Tiene muchas opciones si Djokovic se tuerce una pierna", bromeó. "La solución es irse a Mallorca y a la piscina", añadió antes de analizar el 6-4, 6-1, 1-6 y 6-3 en la final de hoy.

"Novak fue mejor, y en el 5-4, 30-0 Rafa se puso muy nervioso en un momento clave". "Es frustrante... 5-4, 30-0, ese momento", añadió el entrenador acerca del juego del primer set en el que Nadal cedió su servicio tras tener ventaja de 30-0.

"No creo que (Djokovic) haya jugado su mejor partido contra Rafa. Jugó muy bien el segundo set, pero Rafa no jugó muy bien. El mérito es de Djokovic, pero otras veces ha jugado mejor que esta vez". "Pensé que la situación podía cambiar aquí, pero... No le pegó bien a la pelota. No jugó bien".

Toni Nadal, uncle and trainer of the Spanish Rafael Nadal admitted today that it has no solutions for the series of defeats at the Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic. "If I had a solution, would have tried to apply it today, not after what happened today," said Toni Nadal after the defeat of his nephew in the Wimbledon final against Djokovic.

Djokovic beat Nadal in five consecutive finals this year, something that the Spanish did not live in his professional life. His coach does not think there way to avoid closing the Serbian 2011 as world number one. "Possibilities? (Nadal) has many options if Djokovic twisted his leg," he joked. "The solution is to go to Mallorca and the pool," he added before analyzing the 6-4, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3 in the final today.

"Novak was best, and at 5-4, 30-0 Rafa got very nervous at a key moment." "It's frustrating ... 5-4, 30-0, then," added the coach about the game of the first set in which Nadal dropped his serve after taking advantage of 30-0.

"I do not think (Djokovic) has played his best game against Rafa. He played very well the second set, but Rafa did not play very well. The credit goes to Djokovic, but other times it has played better this time." "I thought the situation could change here, but ... He did not hit the ball well. He did not play well."

London. (dpa). - Toni Nadal, uncle and coach of the Spaniard Rafael Nadal, admitted today that he has no solutions to the series of defeats suffered by the tennis player against the Serb Novak Djokovic. "If there was a solution, he would have put it into practice today, and not after what happened today," said Toni Nadal after his nephew's defeat against Djokovic in the Wimbledon final.

The Serb has beaten Nadal in five consecutive finals this year, something which the Spaniard has never before experienced in all of his professional career. His coach does not believe that there is a way to stop the Spaniard finishing 2011 as world number one. "Possibilities? Nadal would have many chances if Djokovic injured his leg," he joked. "The solution is to go to Mallorca and the swimming pool," he added before analysing the 6-4, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3 defeat in today's final.

"Novak was better, and at 4-5, 30-0, Rafa got very nervous at the key moment. It's frustrating... 4-5, 30-0, at that moment," added the coach with reference to the game in the first set when Nadal dropped serve after leading 30-0.

"I don't think that Djokovic played his best match against Rafa. He played better in the second set, but Rafa didn't play very well. Djokovic deserved to win, but he has played better in other matches than in this one. I thought things might be different here, but... [Nadal] was not hitting the ball well. He didn't play well."

Not much there - Rafa choked at 30-0 5-4 in the first set, blah blah blah.

He's a coach, not much to read into this - same goes for any coach out there.

Love Uncle Toni's sense of humour. It's almost the same as the Pope joking about the abuse in the Boy's Scouts.
