The 'Rafa Nadal' Book - Classic Edition

The Assouline 'Rafa Nadal' book celebrates the extraordinary career of the tennis legend through an unparalleled visual narrative. The hardcover features an iconic black and white photograph, complemented by the title in bold, contrasting typography. The reverse is adorned with the celebrated stylized bull logo, an unmistakable symbol of the athlete. Rafa Nadal is the first comprehensive visual biography of the champion, created with his full collaboration and drawing from three decades of images, many previously unseen, sourced from the private collections of Nadal, his family, and his inner circle. The narrative traverses the clay courts of Roland-Garros and the streets of Manacor; the locker room and the Rafa Nadal Academy; international campaigns and carefree days at sea. The volume resists the temptation to mythologize its protagonist, instead revealing what Wertheim defines as “the warrior next door”. Reflections from Federer, King Felipe VI of Spain, his wife Mery Perelló, and long-time coach Toni Nadal guide readers into the private world behind twenty-two Grand Slam titles and fourteen Roland-Garros victories. A collector's volume that enriches any space with a refined and timeless aesthetic. THIS ITEM IS NON-RETURNABLE
