Additionally, he was playing for the Spanish Davis Cup team 14 years in total which is longer than anyone else has ever done.

In 1987 they were in the final of Wimbledon and won a silver medallion in the Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea, in 1988. In 1995 Casal decided to retire from the tour and started in 1998 the Sanchez-Casal Tennis Academy with Sánchez in Barcelona, where he is currently based and runs operations.

To name a few players that have come through the academy are Andy Murray, Svetlana Kuznetsova, Grigor Dimitrov and Daniela Hantuchova.
