Special tribute to Tony Nadal from the Barcelona tournament 

Special tribute to Tony Nadal from the Barcelona tournament

25.12.2017

The organizers of the ATP500 series of tennis tournaments in Barcelona will make a unique gesture to Rafael Nadal`s uncle Tony during the 2018 edition of the competition. He will become the first coach honored specifically by the tournament and the ceremony will take place on the court named after his nephew Raphael. As it is known, in 2017, Matador won an unprecedented tenth title in the heart of Catalonia, and Tony Nadal has always been with him in all his performances there since 2003.




Special tribute to the past has been witnessed by former Barcelona players, such as Manuel Santana, Roy Emerson, Jens Gissbert and Tomas Koch, but Nadal`s uncle will be the first coach. He decided to focus on his work at the tennis academy and would no longer accompany his nephew to his permanent trips to the world tour.
