{"product_id":"rafa-nadal","title":"RAFA NADAL","description":"\u003cp\u003eCreated with the full participation of Rafael Nadal, Rafa Nadal is the only comprehensive, large-scale visual biography of one of the defining athletes of the modern era. Authored by acclaimed journalist, 60 Minutes correspondent, and longtime tennis writer Jon Wertheim, the volume unites the indelible photographs that marked Nadal’s rise with three decades of images drawn from the private collections of Rafa, his family, and his inner circle, many never made publicly available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished as Rafa’s legendary career run settles into history, the book offers the first opportunity to examine his life and legacy in their entirety. It is as interested in the man who left Centre Court as the one who stepped onto it. Readers move between the red clay of Roland-Garros and the streets of his hometown of Manacor, Mallorca; the locker room and the Rafa Nadal Academy; global campaigns and unguarded days at sea, years when one of the planet’s most recognizable athletes still flew coach, sharing an armrest with a stranger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout, Wertheim resists the temptation to mythologize his subject. Instead, he uncovers what he calls “the warrior next door,” a global icon whose closest relationships, daily rituals, and steadfast sense of self remained remarkably constant despite sustained international attention. Reflections from Roger Federer and King Felipe VI of Spain appear alongside those of Nadal’s wife, Mery Perelló; his father, Sebastián Nadal; his longtime coaches Toni Nadal and Carlos Moyà; and key members of his team. Together, their perspectives bring the reader inside the world that surrounded him. As Federer writes, “Never again will there be another Rafael Nadal.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ASSOULINE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50673819975879,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0544\/2256\/9159\/files\/147894A6-3B9B-4D65-91B3-9F91AA5DD085.webp?v=1790180327","url":"https:\/\/tysa-mill-valley.myshopify.com\/products\/rafa-nadal","provider":"TYSA Mill Valley ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
