For , staying humble has been the key to have success. It was his uncle to confirm it again in an interview with a Bulgarian TV in Sofia last week. Toni revealed some interesting things: When Rafael won the Spanish Championship for the first time, we gathered at a family lunch, said Toni. I took from the Spanish Tennis Federation the list of the last 25 winners of the tournament.
We sat at the table and I asked him: Do you know who Juan Perez is champion like you! Miguel Fernandez – Champion like you. Finally, we saw that only 4-5 were the tennis players we knew the names of 4-5 of 25. And I asked him: who you are going to be – of those who will all forget or of those who will be remembered in time.
We stayed 3-4 hours on court. When I saw that he was doing it, I was very happy because I always wanted to prepare Rafael for the future. I did the same thing when he won the French Open for the first time. You know how many tennis players have won only one time.
I asked him: who would you be, and I was very happy and proud he has won the French Open, but I had to think about the future. ALSO READ: Rafael Nadal: Worse players than David Ferrer won a Grand Slam title
