Toni Nadal sees 2020 season as 'clearly positive'

Although the 2020 season has been very short, Toni Nadal spoke about it in an interview with El Pais.

Uncle of the 20-time Grand Slam champion, Rafael Nadal sees the 2020 season as a positive. His nephew has lifted his 20th Grand Slam title in Paris and finished the year as no. 2 in the ATP Rankings. The following season will be much more difficult for the 'Big Three' as the breakthrough of the next-gen can be seen as completed by now.

“When it comes to taking stock of this strange year, the assessment has to be clearly positive,” Toni said. “Raising the French Open for the 13th time amply justifies this appreciation. But, in addition, the game exhibited both at Roland Garros and in London makes me hope to see him face a difficult but exciting season in 2021, in which he will once again have exciting opportunities.”

“I am convinced that the step forward taken by Dominic Thiem, Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas or Alexander Zverev, not to mention someone else, is now definitive,” he said. “But I am also happy that, for yet another year, Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal will fight to the limit of their strength to continue climbing to the podiums of the Grand Slams and the most important tournaments.”
