As he announces his retirement, we relive the story of one of the greatest athletes to ever play - Rafael Nadal. This winning autobiography, in Rafa's own words, touches on the heart of his significant achievements on and off the court and offers a fascinating insight into the making of a champion.

Nadal is a rare case in the sports world - a true athlete who chooses to let his natural talent, dedication, and humility define him. With 16 Grand Slam titles to his name and his friend and rival Roger Federer's record reaching 20, Nadal is an exceptional competitor, whose ferocity on the playing field is made even more impressive by his grace off it.

This biography takes us to the heart of Nadal's childhood, his development as a player, and his incredible career. It includes unforgettable moments, from winning the 2008 Wimbledon final - a match that John McEnroe called 'the greatest tennis match ever played' - to the injury issues that often threatened his dominance in the sport, as the youngest person in the open era to complete a career Grand Slam in 2010.

The story offers a look behind the racket to learn what truly drives this highly private man, who has never before spoken about his personal life. And it provides a personal, revealing, and equally captivating story as Nadal himself.
