The Canadian tennis star, Felix Auger-Aliassime‘s prowess at the mere age of 22 has already won him a slew of admirers. He rose to prominence in the men’s circuit with a major breakthrough in 2022 when he won four ATP titles. In doing so, the 22-year-old player cemented his position as one of the most promising young players in the tennis community. During this remarkable journey, he was accompanied by Rafael Nadal‘s uncle, Toni Nadal, who is part of his coaching team. But things are not going according to plan between the two.

There are some major differences that were recently brought to light by the Spanish tennis coach. Speaking about the same, the 62-year-old recently offered some harsh advice to the Canadian tennis prodigy.

The Uncle of Rafael Nadal talks about his relationship with Auger-Aliassime

In a recent interview with Clay Tenis, the Spanish tennis coach acknowledged that he has been an advisor to the Canadian tennis player. However, there are some major differences between them, as they only get to meet at the Grand Slam events. Emphasizing their meetings at major tournaments, the 62-year-old said that it doesn’t make sense as Auger-Aliassime can’t make any changes to his game at such crucial moments.

Thus, Toni Nadal invited the tennis prodigy to train alongside him in Mallorca, where there might be the possibility of changing some things. Even though they occasionally diverge, Toni revealed that he has a vision that might coincide with the 22-year-old player’s coach, Frederic Fontang.

He said, “It’s about having a clear idea of what I have to do and then train it. At a Grand Slam it’s impossible. What do you want me to tell you at Roland Garros? I’m not going to tell you to hit it differently? Do what you’ve been doing all along.”

Coincidentally, the Spanish tennis coach’s harsh remarks came after he was lately a target of scrutiny from the fans over Auger-Aliassime’s poor run at the Wimbledon Championships. Despite his brutal assessment, he also had some praise for the young tennis star.

In the interview, the 62-year-old said that the ATP player is somewhat ‘preoccupied’ with his actions on the court. However, Toni lauded the Canadian tennis prodigy by calling him ‘a very polite guy’ who likes to seek advice from his coaches. He said, “But he’s the kind of guy who takes advice, a very polite guy, which is something I appreciate very much, because I detest rude people.”
