Rafa: My Story

Description

No tennis player since Andre Agassi has captivated the world like Rafael Nadal. He's a rarity in today's sporting arena - a true sportsman who chooses to let his raw talent, dedication and humility define him. This autobiography, written by Nadal with award-winning journalist John Carlin, includes memorable highlights such as winning the Wimbledon 2008 final in what John McEnroe called, the greatest game of tennis ever played and completing a career Grand Slam after winning the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open in 2010. This book gives Nadal's millions of fans what they've been waiting for - a glimpse behind the racquet to learn what really makes Nadal - an intensely private person who until now has never talked about his personal and family life - tick.

Rafael Nadal is a 25 year old professional tennis player and winner of nine grand slam singles titles to date. He is without a doubt one of the greatest players the game has ever seen.

Rafa: My Story is a terrific sporting memoir, full of memorable anecdotes and stamped with the authority of a ghostwriter who earned the complete trust of his subject. It is hard to imagine how Nadal could have done any more to get the best out of his own raw material. And it is to Carlin's enourmous credit that the book is a true reflection of the man, in every sense - New Statesman - Ed Smith Between them they have served up a winner - Independent - Simon Redfern Take a glimpse behind the curtain of both his private and professional life - it's as exciting as Rafa himself - Woman's Own
