"I had a deal with Felix" - Toni Nadal reveals reason behind not being in the box for Auger-Aliassime - Nadal match
ATP
Toni Nadal was not in Auger-Aliassime's box for his match between him and Rafael Nadal and he revealed the reason why.
Toni Nadal had a deal with Felix Auger-Aliassime of not being present in his box if he ever faced Rafael Nadal and he revealed that after the match. He said:
“I had a deal with Felix in which I wouldn’t sit in his box in the case he faced Rafa. He knew I wanted Rafa to win and didn’t even go to his last practices before that match. If he didn’t accept that, I would stop coaching him right away, but he is a good kid”
As you can see in the quote he also wanted Nadal to win showcasing his loyalty to his family which Auger-Aliassime understood. Rafael Nadal hinted at something like that in his press conference before the match explaining that he doesn't think Toni Nadal would want him to lose. He was right.

- That was a hideous display. Condescending Collins is no friend to tennis. She said she was retiring and should follow through. Sooner the better for the sport. BTW: As I read it in the WTA Rulebook 2025, it seems she broke at least two regulations in her post-match childish behavior. BTW: There are reasons she has no sponsors... and she displayed several of those reasons today.mandoist16-01-2025
