Rafael Nadal's uncle calls for revolutionary changes in tennis
After the Davis Cup final, which will take place in Málaga from November 19-24, tennis superstar Rafael Nadal (38 years old) will conclude his brilliant career.
His former coach and uncle, Toni Nadal, is pondering how to maintain the appeal of tennis in the future. He believes that tennis needs simpler entry rules for young players, more winners of major tournaments, and increased excitement in matches.
Quote. "We need to shorten rackets to make tennis more challenging for professionals and easier for amateurs," he stated during the sports marketing event "Match Point Mallorca." "This will increase the duration of games and diversify rallies. It was like that in the past when tennis was played with smaller wooden rackets. Now they are enormous."
Reminder. Rafael Nadal has won Grand Slam tournaments 22 times and has been ranked number one in the ATP rankings for over 200 weeks.
