From the Publisher:
A candid look into the life of tennis's top-ranked player, Rafael Nadal--an intensely private person known for his discipline, respect, and kindness--traces his childhood, growth as a player, and his extraordinary career. |
Annotation:
The trouble with timing the release of a sports memoir to coincide with an upcoming major tournament, race, or playoff is that sports are unpredictable. So RAFA (it's the nickname used by friends and fans) was published just before the 2011 U.S. Open,where Rafa made it to the finals but was ultimately defeated by Novak Djokovic. Not the ending the author must have wished for. Still, in this case, Rafa remains a contender. He's also a colorful figure, much loved by his legions of fans, and they will no doubt want to read about Rafa's childhood, his family, and his climb to the upper levels--at times, the very top rung--of the professional tennis ladder.
