However, amid all the praise, the legendary coach Paul Annaconéhe wanted to highlight the only weakness he sees in Rafa as a player: “Rafa’s only fault was also his greatest virtue. His only fault was his modesty and this is also his greatest virtue. Sometimes I looked at him and wondered How did he not have a bigger ego?. He was always so kind and humble in what he did that it sometimes kept him from getting on the field and crush the ball“.
“When Rafa felt vulnerable, I didn’t break the ball. We saw him in his last match because he hadn’t played and was on his worst surface. Her ball has a lot of spin and stays in the air, but because of this humility she didn’t enter the field and He started throwing balls everywhere.“, admitted the American coach in a statement to ‘Tennis Channel’.
Annacone’s reflection is striking, if we consider that the great virtue of humility which Nadal This is also his greatest weakness. We must take into account that it is a person who has studied him a lot at the sporting level and against whom he has competed on several occasions.
