The 35-year-old won his 21st Grand Slam title at the Australian Open after battling past Daniil Medvedev in the final. The World No. 5 made an incredible comeback from two sets down to win the Melbourne Slam for the first time since 2009.
In an interview with Onda Cero, Carlos Moya said that Nadal’s Grand Slam race is not yet finished. The former World No. 1 pointed out that the Spaniard is one of the favorites in every tournament he plays.
Moya further disclosed that Nadal is eyeing his 14th French Open title in Paris this year. The coach feels that if the 35-year-old is “healthy,” he will once again be one of the favorites at Roland Garros.
I don’t think Rafael Nadal’s AO win has forced Novak Djokovic to get vaccinated: Carlos Moya
In the same interview, Moya highlighted that Nadal winning his 21st Major has not put additional pressure on Novak Djokovic to get vaccinated. The Serb was unable to defend his Australian Open title after being deported from the country due to his vaccination status.
He could also miss other major tournaments over the rest of the year if vaccine mandates are put in place. According to Moya, the Serb runs the risk of jeopardizing his tennis future by staying unvaccinated.
