Rafa – The Spanish Tennis Star
Wednesday, May 4th, 2011Sometimes known as ‘Rafa,’ Rafael Nadal is a local of Spain who has made a huge impact in the world of tennis.
Born June three, 1986 in Manacor, Mallorca, Rafael Nadal is the child of Sebastian and Ana Maria Nadal.
Standing 6’1′ and weighing 178 lbs, Rafael Nadal changed into a professional tennis player in 2001 after having played since four years old. Fans shouldn’t let this young age trick them as Rafael Nadal nabbed his first championship at only 8 years of age.
Under the guidance and teaching of Toni Nadal, his uncle, Rafael Nadal began learning how to play tennis extraordinarily early in life as is obvious from his early championship.
Toni, who remains Rafael’s coach, is a particularly crucial part of this kid’s success.
In 2005, he won 11 titles and also captured 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 100th claycourt career victory.
That same month, Rafael Nadal turned twenty and finished his teen years with major success.
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.
