An in-depth look at tennis superstar Rafael Nadal's rise to the
top of his game
Every sport has its superstars, but there is a small, elite
group reserved for those who truly transcend their sport. Entering
2014 as the world number one, with 13 Grand Slam titles to his
name, Rafael Nadal belongs in this group. Nadal's tennis journey
began at age three in his native Mallorca, and he quickly emerged
as a natural, surging into the top 50 of the world rankings by the
age of 16. Originally considered a clay-court specialist, he
quickly showed he was much more than that. While he continues to
make Roland Garros his second home, the Spaniard has also captured
the Wimbledon, Australian Open, and US Open crowns, completing the
full set of Grand Slams in 2010. From his 2008 marathon against
Roger Federer at Wimbledon to his classic semi-final victory
against Novak Djokovic at the 2013 French Open, Nadal never
disappoints on the big stage. His on-court brilliance is only
matched by his off-court humility. And, at 28, there is plenty more
to come. So long as he stays clear of the persistent knee injuries
that have haunted him, the Spaniard is on pace to finish his career
as the greatest player of all-time.
