The coffee-table book \u2018Rafa Nadal\u2019 by Assouline is the first comprehensive visual biography of the champion, created with his full cooperation and compiled from three decades of imagery\u2014much of which has never been published before\u2014drawn from the private collections of Nadal, his family, and those closest to him. The story unfolds on the red clay courts of Roland-Garros and in the streets of Manacor; in the locker room and at the Rafa Nadal Academy; during global campaigns and relaxed days at sea.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Written by Jon Wertheim, a correspondent for 60 Minutes and a senior writer for Sports Illustrated, whose book *Strokes of Genius* chronicled Nadal\u2019s historic 2008 Wimbledon final against Roger Federer, this book resists the temptation to mythologize its subject and instead reveals what Wertheim calls \u2018the warrior next door.\u2019 Reflections from Federer, King Felipe VI of Spain, his wife Mery Perell\u00f3, and his longtime coach Toni Nadal offer readers a glimpse into the private world behind twenty-two Grand Slam titles and fourteen Roland Garros championships.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe titles and the numbers are there, so people probably know that. But I\u2019d rather be remembered as a good person from a small village in Mallorca\u2026just a kid who followed his dreams.\u201d \u2014 Rafa Nadal.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For those who admired not only the victories but also the sacrifice behind them, the photographic tribute \u2018Rafa Nadal\u2019 is the definitive account of a champion who, in Federer\u2019s own words, will never return.<\/p>\n
