Overview
- Toni Nadal, in comments published Saturday, said Rafael Nadal will not take a full-time coaching job.
- He said coaching at that level needs 100% dedication and constant travel, which clashes with Rafael’s family life and business work.
- He explained that Iga Swiatek sought advice at the Rafa Nadal Academy, where Rafael offered brief input while her new coach, Francisco Roig, led the work.
- He argued coaching has grown tougher because players switch staffs more often and coaches get blamed when results dip.
- Reports now point to Rafael staying active as a mentor at his academy, with former pro Alex Corretja earlier calling a full-time coaching move 99.9% impossible.
