Uncle Toni and Rafael Nadal put together the most solid and unbreakable team in tennis for the past ten years. When Nadal won his first French Open, Toni was there. Even before the Spaniard broke big Toni was there. Toni witnessed Rafael hitting the first balls, shifting to his left hand, embracing his talent.

Now, 14 Grand Slam titles and many records broken after, the media started pointing out the fact that possibly the duo should separate in order for Rafael Nadal to exit the crisis he entered. For once, the Spaniard isn't losing matches due to injuries, but rather because of a technical involution that is not allowing Rafa with a chance to perform at his best.

For the first time in ten years Nadal didn't win a single Masters 1000 tournament on clay approaching the French Open. Rafael all but recovered at Wimbledon and in Paris a month before that, he was also beaten for the second time ever at the French Open.

A great season for many aspiring tennis players. A terrible step back for someone used to dominate the clay season and even tennis all round for years. Rafael already took responsibility for his lack of form, when former legends such as John McEnroe started pointing out how changing coach and renewing his team would be a probable solution to Nadal's problems. Now it is time for uncle Toni to defend himself from the accusations.
