BARCELONA, Spain -- Rafael Nadal criticized Spain's female Davis Cup captain on Tuesday for feeding a "false and absurd" debate that started when his coach and uncle questioned whether a woman could coach in the men's game.
The 14-time Grand Slam winner struck out at both captain Gala Leon and the Spanish tennis federation.
"It seems strange to me, as Davis Cup captain, that instead of seeking union and harmony between players, captains and the federation, she has incited and fed a debate that is totally false and absurd," Nadal said.
Nadal said federation president Jose Escanuela was in his "right" to appoint Leon captain, but "it seems unfair to me that they have wanted to shift the issue to a place that is evidently a clear issue of populism."

Spoiled, crazy assed acting baby.
I was hoping he would not come back. I don't think he will last long if he starts losing a lot again, I don't think his ego can take it and he seems not to really enjoy the game all that much.
