Nadal hopeful Moya can stop slide

Fourteen-time Grand Slam champion Rafa Nadal has turned to fellow Mallorcan Carlos Moya in an attempt to revitalize his career, the 30-year-old Spaniard said on Saturday.

Moya will join the former world No 1's coaching team for the coming season and work alongside his uncle, Toni Nadal, and Francis Roig.

"To have someone like Carlos who is not only a friend but also a very important person in my career is something special," said Nadal.
