The Warrior: Rafael Nadal and His Kingdom of Clay
Three decades covering Nadal: what the topspin forehand cost his body, the Mallorcan family that produced him, and the rivalry that defined the best era tennis has had.
Clarey covered Nadal for three decades, and writes about the physical cost of the topspin forehand, the Mallorcan family structure that produced him, and the rivalry with Federer and Djokovic that defined the best era the sport has had. The body is the real subject: what it took to generate that spin, and what it took away.

An intelligent and very good book, covering one of the greatest eras (Federer-Nadal-Djokovic) that any sport ever has had.
