书籍简介

《星期日泰晤士报》畅销的自传，他那一代伟大的网球运动员的自传《一个赢家》《独立》一部精彩的体育回忆录，充满了令人难忘的轶事《新政治家》和拉法本人一样激动人心《女人的自己》自安德烈·阿加西以来，没有一个网球运动员能像拉斐尔·纳达尔那样吸引世界。在当今的体育竞技场上，他是一个罕见的人——一个真正的运动员，他选择让自己的天赋、奉献精神和谦逊来定义自己。纳达尔已经赢得了16个大满贯，他的朋友和对手罗杰·费德勒也创下了20个大满贯的纪录，纳达尔是一位非凡的竞争对手，他在球场上的凶猛，在球场外的优雅更加引人注目。

这本书把我们带到了纳达尔童年的核心，他作为一名球员的成长，以及他不可思议的职业生涯。这其中有令人难忘的高潮和低谷，从2008年温布尔登网球公开赛决赛的胜利(这场比赛被约翰·麦肯罗(John McEnroe)称为“网球史上伟大的比赛”)，到经常威胁到他在这项运动中的统治地位的伤病问题，再到2010年成为公开赛时年轻的完成职业大满贯的球员。它把我们从纳达尔在马略卡岛的一生的家带到中央球场的更衣室，他详细地描述了参加世界上伟大的比赛的压力。

这本书让我们得以一窥球拍背后的秘密，了解到底是什么让这个非常注重隐私的人——他以前从未谈论过自己的家庭生活。它为我们提供了一个私人的、有启发性的故事，每一点都和纳达尔本人一样令人兴奋。

The Sunday Times bestselling autobiography from the greatest tennis player of his generation'A winner' Independent 'A terrific sporting memoir, full of memorable anecdotes' New Statesman 'As exciting as Rafa himself' Woman's OwnNo tennis player since Andre Agassi has captivated the world like Rafael Nadal. He's a rarity in today's sporting arena - a true sportsman who chooses to let his raw talent, dedication and humility define him. With a remarkable 16 grand slam victories under his belt, and with friend and rival Roger Federer's record haul of 20 in his sights, Nadal is an extraordinary competitor whose ferocity on court is made even more remarkable by his grace off it.

This book takes us to the heart of Nadal's childhood, his growth as a player, and his incredible career. It includes memorable highs and lows, from victory in the 2008 Wimbledon final - a match that John McEnroe called the 'greatest game of tennis ever played' - to the injury problems that have frequently threatened his dominance of the sport, to becoming the youngest player of the open era to complete a career Grand Slam in 2010. It transports us from Nadal's lifelong home on the island of Majorca to the locker room of Centre Court as he describes in detail the pressures of competing in the greatest tournament in the world.

It offers a glimpse behind the racquet to learn what really makes this intensely private person - who has never before talked about his home life - tick. And it provides us with a story that is personal, revealing and every bit as exciting as Nadal himself.
