In a recent interview @Charlymoya talked about his work with Rafa: “I had five years at home after I retired, but then you miss the adrenaline of being a part of the competition” ‘Since then, Nadal has been world No.1 of five separate occasions, winning six more majors.’

“I had very clear in my mind what I wanted from him,” Moya says.
“More serve and volley, be more aggressive, and it set a challenge for me. He is a beast mentally, he wants to keep evolving and there is room for that. That keeps him motivated.”

“He has feelings, sometimes he’s not that motivated. It doesn’t happen that often. Sometimes with the injuries, maybe he had a bad day the day before. I try to talk to him a lot to see how he is feeling that day, in order to see what we will do.”

Who would win a match between Carlos Moya, the Australian Open finalist circa 1997, and Rafael Nadal now?
“He would win, but I would give him a hard time!” Moya laughs.

“I know it's going to be over sooner than later, so I try to enjoy and learn in every moment I spend with him.”
