Uncle Toni confident that Rafael Nadal will be able to juggle fatherhood and career

Meanwhile, Nadal is already getting used to a new role, that of being a first-time father. The Spaniard acknowledged the good news for the first time in a post on social media on Thursday.

Meanwhile, in an interview published by Majorca Daily Bulletin, Toni Nadal, the former long-time coach and uncle of Rafael Nadal, said he is confident that the 36-year-old would be able to juggle fatherhood with his career like all other athletes do.

“He will do this totally normally. He’s not a special guy, as all footballers and many others do this. When he first has to go to Australia, it will be hard to be away, but in the end, it is the price you have to pay,” Toni Nadal said.
