The revolutionary change Tony Nadal proposes for tennis: I'd play with a smaller missile.

Tony Nadal is one of the most experienced men in the tennis world and understands how this sport is developing. Unlike some years ago, when Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer competed for the world's number one ranking, now with Carlos Alkaraz and Jannik Sinner as their successor, he believes there is a need for a revolutionary change in one of the key elements of the sport: the rocket itself.

A measure I would propose to change tennis is to be played with a smaller missile. Nowadays, most matches are based on the kick as hard as possible and there is no strategy to counter this”, explained Tony, the father of Rafa Nadal. He had proposed this change months earlier due to the continuing changes he sees occurring in tennis: “The leading organs must do something to modify the game; sometimes it is not very attractive”, he added, reports Spanish media, broadcast Periscope.

An explanation he gave several months ago in the Italian press, where Tony Nadal stressed that"the ball is getting faster and faster"and, as a result, "the shots are more violent and powerful". An idea that, for him, would improve show quality: "It would be easier for amateurs and harder for professionals, and the game would be less violent. The beauty of tennis is being able to see the movement. When McEnoe or Nastase played, everything was there -- movement, skill, tactics", he said.

He addressed other topics, such as the problems Carlos Alkaraz has had since his damage to Barcelona, which has prevented him from participating in recent tours, including the Mutua Madrid Open: "The wrist is very delicate. I remember Del Potro's problems. I'm sure Alkaraz won't force himself", he said in Onda Cero .

Although Jannik Sinner took the world's number one ranking, Tony Nadal considers it at the same level: "I asked Zverev which one he would both rather play, and he said Alkaraz because Sinner was unattainable. But I don't see him at all under him", he's done.
