Nadal, one of the most successful coaches in tennis history, will be joined by Lopez, who coaches Carlos Alcaraz, the number 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings. Fontang, coach of Felix Auger-Aliassime, will also present, as well as Gilles Cervara, former coach of Daniil Medvedev. Collectively, their experience includes Grand Slam titles, ATP Tour victories and the daily demands of guiding players on the challenges of the world circuit.
Designed as a fully virtual conference, WTC6 will unfold over four themed days, with registered attendees getting unlimited access to all presentations for 60 days. The opening day focused on the concept of high performance required on the ATP Tour, exploring the psychological and competitive foundations of sustained excellence. The second day shifts to methodology, tennis statistics, biomechanics and tactical and technical training principles that support the development of modern players.
The third day will examine the application of sports science to high performance, strength and conditioning integration, recovery techniques, injury prevention and load management in high performance programs. The conference concludes with a focus on human development and innovation within high-performance projects, reinforcing WTC6’s core philosophy of “People First” — an approach that prioritizes character, education and long-term personal growth as key pillars of competitive success.
Other keynote speakers include Marc Rosset, Brian Teacher, Claudio Pistolesi, Anton Dubrov, Liam Smith, Louis Cayer, Dominik Hrbaty and Alberto Castellani, with more speakers to be announced ahead of the event.
