The Carlos Moyá influence
For the first time since he held a tennis racquet, Rafael Nadal has decided to alter his coaching staff. Carlos Moyá will take a place in developing the Spaniard's game, along with his uncle Toni Nadal.
It seems to be an exciting prospect whichever way you look at it.
Not only will Nadal prosper under the veteran's different influence, but he will also likely try something entirely different this season. While Toni Nadal's pedagogy has led him to the ultimate glory, a change of perspective is essential to every sportsman.
Moyá played a pivotal role in Raonic's success last year; it was his guidance that ensured 2016 was the best season of the Canadian's career. It would be interesting to see how he works with Nadal's relatively weaker serve, considering a powerful serve was the biggest weapon in Raonic's arsenal.
Throughout his career, Nadal’s own insecurities have pulled him down more than his opponents have. If his new coach can find a way to bring him out of them, Nadal will be more than a force to be reckoned with in the season!
