Rafael Nadal is at the tail-end of his illustrious career. He announced earlier that this season will be his final tour following his long sideline last year. However, questions surrounding the next move of the Spanish star coach have gotten to the spotlight, but Carlos Moya reveals he is 100% focused on the present with Nadal.

Moya joined Nadal’s team in 2016, just a few months after retiring from the sport. Moya’s only major title came at the 1998 French Open and he also had a short spell in World No.1 position. But, he has been a key figure in Nadal’s team, helping the 37-year-old win several titles.

However, Nadal’s career is coming to an end after eight years of working together. The 22-Grand Slam champion has done well for himself this season despite the challenges. He has won eight matches this season, reaching the quarterfinals of one. His most notable tournament was in Madrid, where he reached the round of 16.

Meanwhile, Moya will travel with Nadal to Paris, as he will be competing at the Roland Garros after initially stating he was not sure of participating.

The 14-time French Open winner was emotional after the Italian crowd cheered him up despite losing to Hubert Hurkacz. His team was expecting to see a dejected Nadal after the loss, but were surprised he was in good faith.

He will be using this motivation and his accomplishment to fuel his ambition to win the title. He last won the French Open in 2022, despite returning from injury earlier that year.
