Nadal Opens up on Fatherhood, Playing Vegas and Possible Exhibition with Federer in AP Interview
Nadal says fatherhood and academy duties make a return to coaching unlikely as he prepares for his first U.S. match since retirement.
- On Monday, retired tennis standout Rafael Nadal promoted his upcoming exhibition, The MGM Slam presented by Capital One, scheduled for Feb. 28 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
- Balancing 22 Grand Slam titles with fatherhood, Nadal acknowledged the challenge of putting his two sons to bed; preparing for the exhibition provides an "obligation" to resume practicing.
- Nadal remains in "almost weekly contact" with former rival Roger Federer, though no exhibition is currently confirmed between them. "Lets see whats going on in the future," Nadal said regarding a potential match.
- While running the Rafa Nadal Academy, which employs up to 700 workers, Nadal ruled out full-time coaching because he cannot commit to traveling and missing his children's bedtime.
- Calling the extension of Master 1000s tournaments to two weeks "a mistake," Nadal renewed his call for a rolling ranking system based on two years of results to support injured players.
