Novak Djokovic just lately made a bombshell announcement, naming Andy Murray as his new coach, ranging from the 2025 Australian Open. Murray introduced his retirement on the Paris Olympics this 12 months, after which Nadal put an finish to his profession on the Davis Cup Finals in Malaga, in November.
A former participant revealed if Rafael Nadal would comply with Andy Murray’s teaching profession path.
With Nadal additionally retiring, many followers have predicted a future teaching position for the Spaniard.
Talking to Eurosport, former participant Alex Corretja feels that it’s ‘inconceivable’ to see Nadal as a coach sooner or later. “In my opinion, I see it as impossible. 99.99% impossible. Because in this life you can’t say impossible. But I would be very, very surprised. I think he’s going to need time to realize what he really wants to do. It’s a bit different than Andy. I feel like Andy, even if he’s got four kids and he’s busy at home, maybe he’s got less things to do on a daily basis,” he stated.
“But Rafa, he is living on his, you know, in Manacor, and he’s got his academy. I don’t really see him moving so much from there. I felt like Andy wanted to maybe feel the experience of still traveling, you know. Rafa, I don’t really see him as a coach or as a consultant for anyone. I might see him more like a consultant for, let’s say, Real Madrid. Something big, something that he could add to the team from time to time, can give them some speeches. I would see it for a short period of time. Three months or six months. But on a daily basis, I don’t really see it.”
Even in 2023, Nadal was requested if he would take up teaching after his retirement. Talking to Diario AS, he stated, “They ask me things about the future that I cannot answer, nor say one thing or another. Because the future is often uncertain and I also don’t lose sight of the fact that I have an academy where players come and I like sports in general. I like tennis, so I can’t say that I’m not going to drink that water, that I’m not going to be a coach. I don’t see myself doing a complete calendar on the Tour, it’s practically impossible. Now, in a few weeks, being able to help someone or being able to spend some time with a player, well, why not tomorrow. Not today, but tomorrow who knows.”
