Toni Nadal, about Alcaraz: "If it overwhelms him, then he should leave tennis"

Toni Nadal stopped by the Nude Project podcast to talk at length about Rafa Nadal's entire career and his retirement. Additionally, he critically analyzed Carlos Alcaraz's documentary, despite not having watched it: "If it overwhelms him, then he should quit tennis. I understand things differently in life. Ultimately, in the world of sports, everything tends to be exaggerated. I have often heard about the sacrifice in sports, the sacrifice that the Real Madrid athletes made, and I thought, 'Sacrifice?'. Life is about giving up things, not just doing what I want. Sometimes, people find it rewarding, and sometimes not. If it doesn't pay off for you, it's better to change jobs.

I hope Alcaraz doesn’t change because he is one of the best in the world, but one must embrace the challenge. One must accept that what one is doing in life will entail a series of renunciations. I don't speak of sacrifices because I believe sacrifice is what you do for others. When it's for yourself, it's the price you have to pay. Alcaraz, being a great tennis player, indeed pays a price. But on the other hand, he earns much more money than the vast majority of young people his age, has much greater social recognition, lives experiences that few people do... If it doesn't pay off for you, it's better to make a decision."
