Sometimes known as ‘Rafa,’ Rafael Nadal is a local of Spain who has made a massive impact in the world of tennis.
Born June three, 1986 in Manacor, Mallorca, Rafael Nadal is the son of Sebastian and Ana Maria Nadal.
Standing 6’1′ and weighing 178 lbs, Rafael Nadal became a professional tennis player in 2001 after having played since 4 years old. Fans shouldn’t let this young age trick them as Rafael Nadal nabbed his first championship at just eight years of age.
Under the guidance and teaching of Toni Nadal, his uncle, Rafael Nadal started learning how to play tennis extraordinarily early in life as is evident from his early championship.
Toni, who remains Rafael’s coach, is a particularly crucial part of this kid’s success.
In 2005, he won eleven titles and also caught recognition as the ‘Most Improved Player’ for 2005 as named by the ATP.
In June 2006, Rafael Nadal won his second Roland Garros crown and also scored his hundredth claycourt career victory.
That same month, Rafael Nadal turned twenty and ended his teenage years with great success. It was during these years that Rafael Nadal won sixteen career titles, which tied the record for the most titles won by a teenager.
Even though Rafael Nadal is right-handed, he plays left-handed and produces a backhand using both. As with most top athletes in their sport, Rafael Nadal is managed by IMG and is frequently found in Nike attire.
