<p><b>LONGLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR</b><br><br><b>A <i>SUNDAY TIMES </i>BOOK OF THE YEAR</b><br><br><b>From the bestselling author of <i>The Master</i>, longlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year.<br><br>An intimate, original biography of tennis legend Rafael Nadal, and the first to cover his entire career.</b><br><br>After his award-winning look at Roger Federer, Christopher Clarey, one of the world's pre-eminent tennis writers, focuses his lens on Nadal, the Spanish force of nature. When he arrived on the scene in 2005, the record for men's singles titles at the French Open stood at six. Nadal more than doubled that total to a mind-blowing fourteen titles: one of the greatest sporting achievements in history. <br><br>Nadal won big and won often on all of tennis's surfaces: securing two Wimbledon titles on grass and six on the US Open and Australian Open hard courts. But clay, the grittiest of the game's playgrounds, is where it all came together best for his whipping forehand and warrior mindset. <br><br>Clarey, who has covered Nadal since he was seventeen, draws on interviews over twenty years with Nadal, his team and rivals like Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. Brimming with behind-the-scenes insight, <i>The Warrior</i> tells the story of a global sporting icon, interlacing man and place in a unique, must-read account of the evolution of excellence.</p>
