Rafael Nadal’s coach and uncle Toni Nadal says: “I was lucky to find Rafa in the family, and lucky, too, not to be his father. One stage removed is better, no? Then it was a question of teaching the little boy the right way to play the game. Not just technically but attitude, too. I told him very early that if he ever threw a racket and broke it I wouldn’t be his coach any more. I told him there are millions of kids in the world who cannot afford a racket. And I was lucky. He wasn’t the sort of kid you needed to tell something important to twice. He had this great desire to be as good as he could be. Without that, talent is not enough.”
