Rafa Nadal: The King of the Court

Written by veteran sports journalist Dominic Bliss, who has followed Rafael Nadal’s career both on and off the court, this book is the complete guide to one of the 21st century’s greatest tennis players. Built around 10 key matches, Bliss takes the reader on a comprehensive journey of Nadal’s career which started when he won his first national junior championship at the age of 14 (while in pain from a broken finger on his racquet hand), to his 21st Grand Slam title in January 2022 against Russia’s Daniil Medvedev, where he came from two sets to love down to claim victory in an epic 5 set encounter. Away from tennis, Nadal is a philanthropist recognised for his charity work including the $17 million raised for the Red Cross for those affected by Coronavirus.
