Rafa’s uncle to quit

RAFAEL Nadal’s uncle, Toni Nadal, will step down as his coach at the end of the year as he feels he has been sidelined by other figures in the player’s entourage.

The 55-year-old has been with the 14-time grand slam champion before the Spaniard won the French Open as a teenager in 2005. “The relationship with my nephew has always been excellent, in all these years we have never had periods of crisis,” he said, but added that he has felt increasingly sidelined by Nadal’s manager Carlos Costa and the player’s father. “The truth is that every year I am making fewer decisions, to the point that I won’t be deciding anything any more!”
