The uncle of tennis star Rafael Nadal will present a motivational talk in Fuengirola

A motivational talk given by the uncle of Spanish tennis legend Rafael Nadal sold out instantly.

Toni Nadal will take part in the event -organized by the Sierra Blanca-El Romeral and Las Chapas-Ecos schools- on Friday, February 3 at 7:30 p.m. at the Peace Palace in Fuengirola.

The ‘Everything can be trained’ motivational talk was sold out, with 800 tickets sold.

The Mayor of Fuengirola Ana Mula will be present, as well as the Councilor for Education of Fuengirola Carmen Díaz and the Councilor for Immigration of Marbella Remedios Bocanegra.

Toni Nadal won 16 Grand Slam titles with his nephew Rafael and was the most successful coach in tennis history.

But that record was surpassed by Marian Vajda and her player Novak Djokovic, who won their 17th Grand Slam title together in 2020.

Toni comes from a great sporting background, with his younger brother Miguel playing professional football for FC Barcelona.

Toni appears in the recent new Netflix tennis documentary series Breaking point where he appears alongside his new protégé, Canadian top ten Felix Auger-Aliassime.

It was a coaching move that sparked controversy, especially when Rafael Nadal and Auger-Aliassime went head-to-head at the French Open last year.

Toni then told the media that he wanted his nephew to win, and refused to attend the match.
