Toni Nadal: Their idols were the players Rafael Madrid» Francisco Martinez. Toni Nadal (Manacor , February 1961 ) is the only coach in history with thirteen Grand Slam , the same as his pupil and nephew , Rafa Nadal , who has molded tenísticamente and provided with a indomitable character . Rafa , after a seven-month injury , returned in style and this year has regained the number one . Toni is responsible , although quite merit. - Does the coach is also number one number one coach ? - No, no. I do not feel well . I have been fortunate to coach a player who has won a lot . - But his party has contributed ... - Something , but has been little decisive. - Nadal , the Spanish number one , says the cover of the next photo . What do you think ? - I just do not see it as a normal boy , and actually it is, but Im flattered that you stand on a human level , a personal level. Tenísticamente and I know where it is. - People always talk about his humility ... - Rafael is good people and thats the most important, but when you win two things usually happen . On one hand it is very picky about the winners , who must have a spotless behavior , but it is also true that sometimes exaggerate their virtues . - Did you expect to be number one again so soon? Rafa did not expect to return to play at this level so soon. Im as surprised because I know how hard it is to get back to the level before and after injury . - So your nephew is still able to surprise ... Yes, yes . I was surprised , especially mentally, but also technically , is playing one of the highest levels of his career. - Still can technically improve after so many hours with a racket ? - Everyone can improve , although it is true that it is becoming more difficult. When you take many years on the circuit doing something normally think that is your level , that you have little potential. But one has to be convinced that it can be better, and he will little by little : the serve has improved , with it, the reverse is much better than before ... - You say philosophize much to tennis, that s no big deal ... - Go back to before , to overstate things when you win , we live in a world in which exaggerates everything about the sport. Tennis is much more simple, a matter of throwing it and put it in and can not do a lot about square roots . - Can go to buy bread normally? Yes, yes , of course. Many times I will do the purchase without problems . - And Rafa ? - In Mallorca does too, although it is true that in other places it is more complicated. - Do you argue a lot? - It depends on the meaning you want to give to the word discussion , does not have to be negative. - Is it nice Djokovic ? - For me its a normal guy , I have a good deal with him. Tennis is not like football, where rivalries are carried to an extreme exaggeration , in which practically hate the opponent. The Barca have animosity toward those of Madrid , as well as those of Madrid with Barca , with Atletico ... But it should not be. In tennis, the rivalry is less, the inside , but after the match ends . I want my opponent to lose , but do not hate him . To a person who you have faced many times what you have in the end is appreciated . - Do you have many hobbies as his nephew ? - No, no , to my knowledge. Neither I have nor understand. A Rafael once I made the comparison with the film Could not be better , but he said it was not like Jack Nicholson . I invited him to stop making repeated gestures that lasted two days long . I guess that was used to it and it helps you focus . She has two children. Do you see a Rafa Nadal in them? I see nadales , but only in the lineage . I see no Rafa Nadal. - Is it easier to raise a child or be a champion? - It is certainly more difficult to form a champion. The chances of success are slim. Educating a child is simpler , parents always have the upper hand . Another thing is that we habituemos to excuse them . It seems that today lack criteria for a good education , but before people , with less, not doing anything wrong. - Did you have any heroes Rafa ? I think none - tennis , football , all Real Madrid . - And how out of Madrid having a guy ( Miguel Angel ) playing at the club ? - The family is divided , ha ha ha. When my brother played in the club, Rafael Barcelona wanted to win , but I was not convinced that is a fan of Real Madrid. When he returned to Mallorca , could change again . - But it is Rafa idol of many people ... - I am not very idol , but , with humility, I think having one as Rafael is not bad, because its a normal guy who is not going to make you look bad with his behavior , and I do not mean victory. Anyone have an idol that does things right and if done wrong , it makes you look bad . So many times we tend to excuse in excess of we have as idols. -Ferrer says the elite players living in an unreal world ... - Unreal not, but it is a world with few privileges exaggerated. By passing a ball over a network I have a few more privileges than other people who make things better for others.
