Description

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Master comes an intimate, original biography of tennis's enduring champion Rafael Nadal.

After his award-winning look at Roger Federer, Christopher Clarey, one of the world's preeminent tennis writers, focuses his lens on Nadal, the indomitable and inspiring force of nature from Spain who has been one of the most relentless competitors in any sport. The Warrior, the first major book to explore the full arc of Nadal's now-completed career, examines his philosophy and most mind-blowing achievement: 14 French Open titles.

Nadal won big on tennis's other surfaces en route to becoming one of the greatest players of all time: securing two Wimbledon titles on grass and six Grand Slam titles on hardcourts. But clay, the grittiest of the game's playgrounds, is where it all came together best for his whipping forehand and gladiatorial mindset.

Clay is to Nadal what water is to Michael Phelps, which helps explain one of the most impressive sports achievements of the 21st century. Clarey, who has covered Nadal since he was 17, draws on interviews over 20 years with Nadal, his team and rivals like Federer and Novak Djokovic. But like The Master, this is not just a book about tennis. The Warrior finds much wider lessons, interlacing man and place in a unique, compelling work.
