Carlos Moyà: "Nadal adapts perfectly to grass, for me he aspires to the maximum at Wimbledon"

"The important thing now is that he spends time on the track and that his foot is fine"

"I don't think that being a father is what retires Nadal, on the contrary"

MADRID, 22 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Rafa Nadal's coach, Carlos Moyà, hopes to see his pupil aspire to everything in the Wimbledon tournament since he "adapts perfectly to the grass", although waiting for him to pick up the pace on the court and "his foot is fine" after of an epic Roland Garros.

"We had a pretty good week of training in Mallorca, although the grass here is a bit different from London, maybe that's why he's having a little trouble adapting to the grass in England. Right now the important thing is that he spends time on the court and that the foot is fine, little by little it will pick up the pace, hopefully the draw will also help", says the also Balearic in an interview this Wednesday with Eurosport collected by Europa Press.

The picture will be known on Friday and Moyà hopes that Nadal will have games to continue gaining sensations on the court and advancing. "At Wimbledon there can always be more surprises, beyond the player who touches you in those first rounds, the dangerous thing is the type of rival that touches you, you have to be careful with the sluggers. Now he has two important exhibition matches, my confidence in him for Wimbledon is still the maxim," he says.

The man from Manacor raised his 14th Roland Garros last month, despite foot problems, with his chronic injury that became especially hard after the second round. After Paris, Nadal underwent a new treatment that is currently working. "After beating Moutet in the second round, the match ended and I couldn't walk. Rafa can always use the first 2-3 matches at Roland Garros to build confidence, the only thing I was worried about was my foot," recalls the former number one world.

"Rafa always wants to do well, wherever he is, his motivation is above any tournament. It is clear that Wimbledon is a fetish tournament for him, he has won it twice and made five finals in a row. The last two times he He competed there, he made the semifinals, he adapts perfectly to the grass. I know he can play very well, for me he aspires to the maximum, "he adds about London.

After being champion in Australia and Paris, Nadal has the 'Grand Slam' in his hand. "It is a realistic goal, right now he is the only one who can achieve it this year. It is the first time in his career that he is in a position to achieve it, but we see it as something far away, he is halfway there. At the moment he is not losing sleep ", Explains his coach, before assessing Nadal's paternity.

"In my time hardly anyone traveled with their children, it is also true that people retired at 30-32 years old to start a family. Now everything has been delayed a lot, that's why many travel with their children. I don't think This topic is the one that takes him away, on the contrary, it will be an extra motivation, he is very familiar, he loves children, although I am sure that at first he will miss him a lot when he has to go on a trip, "he points out about a possible change.

In addition, Moyà gave his opinion on coaching, instructions from coaches to his players during matches, approved by the ATP and WTA for the second half of this season. "I am not very much in favor of coaching. What makes tennis a special sport is that it is the only sport where you are alone against another without anyone's help," she confesses forcefully.

"For me it is essential that the player thinks for himself, the coach's job is already done. It's like an exam, the teacher can help you, but once the exam starts you are on your own. I think more of someone who travels without a coach because he can't afford it. What happens there? You're not matching anything there, but you're increasing the difference. I think we'll see accidents, arguments and verbal aggression if that goes where I think it goes, like in the WTA when the coach I went down to the track", he adds.
