Wilander on Nadal's future: "I can imagine him coaching Alcaraz".
Mats Wilander spoke to Eurosport about the latest news from the tennis world, including Rafael Nadal's retirement and the collaboration between Murray and Djokovic.
The Swede talked about the Majorcan's farewell ceremony in Malaga, but also his opinion on the idea of seeing him become a coach in the years to come.
On this subject, Wilander was rather optimistic: "It's quite possible that Nadal will come back as a coach. I can even imagine him coaching Alcaraz.
Although Carlos has Juan Carlos Ferrero with him, one of the best coaches around, he lacks the ability to maintain the same intensity throughout an entire match.
Nadal, on the other hand, has been able to maintain that same level of concentration, so I can see what he could bring to the table."
And if Nadal never becomes Alcaraz's coach, Wilander has other reconversion ideas for the former world No. 1: "Whatever form he takes, Nadal will be involved in tennis, whether as a coach or commentator.
That's something very valuable. He could even become captain of the Spanish Davis Cup team."
