In his documentary series released on Netflix On April 23, Carlos Alcaraz had made a remarkable outing on his report to the small yellow ball. The quadruple Grand Chelem champion claimed to have the impression of being “sometimes a tennis slave”.
For Carlos Moya, it is not necessary to go so far in its work ethics to mark the history of sport. The former world number one has made some revelations about his former protégé, Rafael Nadal, yet renowned for his taste for effort.
“Rafa had a busy life outside of tennis, maybe a little less by attending events, Formula 1, motorcycles, but he had a busy life outside the court. I know him well and I know that he had his hobbies and that he enjoyed his free time. Rafa was not a tennis slave. Second, the image of Carlitos who remained in the minds of viewers after seeing the documentary is wrong. It is impossible to win what he won without discipline, without work. He is 21 years old and has the right to live what he says. He doesn’t hurt anyone and what’s more, he still earns money. Is it viable in the long term? It is difficult, but he already has his team, who advises him, who directs him and who tells him things as she thinks them ”underlined the 1998 Roland – Garros champion in remarks relayed by Relief.
