Toni Nadal joined Felix Auger-Aliassime's team ahead of the 2022 clay season and the recently crowned ATP champion spoke on their relationships.
The addition to Felix's staff was the return of Toni Nadal to coaching and tennis and it came as a surprise to many. The news created waves in the tennis world but initially, it did not go too well. Auger-Aliassime played a very poor clay season losing multiple matches never achieving a deep run on the surface. Nadal remained in the staff and Auger was able to turn around the season as time went on.
Speaking about his coaching he touched upon Nadal and his regular coach Frederic Fontang:

“Both are really important for me. Frederic has been the rock for
the team. He is the leader and was able to build a great team around me
and he is a real professional. I think he deserves more credit than he
gets. He took me when I was 17 years old and has taken me to where I am
today and we are not done. It is a really special relationship we
have."
Turning his attention to Nadal, Auger said:
“I think we took Toni to
have that experience from the top of the sport and he built a lot of
confidence [for] the team and normality to winning tournaments like this
and reaching late stages at Grand Slams”.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!!

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
