I repeat my title bar. I learned a lot from this book. Perhaps the info is nothing more than recycled quotes and tid bits that are already in the public for some time, but I ask you, where else but in this book you will find everything in one place? Plus, personally I had not read so much about Rafa and before it’s all very new to me and I faszinierend.Ich learned that Nadal is a young, very modest and elegant man. A role model. I’ve learned that it’s just the TV show Lost and Prison Break enjoys. He is a normal guy. I also learned how many times he has been hampered by injuries through his whole career, which has taught me that he is a grinder with endless amounts of determination. No one suffers more than he on the pitch and yet he persists through them. I know that he has a very intelligent and humble friend, too, who is also very attractive. Above all, I was completely on his progress is on the tennis court, as necessarily an increase, I think I’ve always been aware, informed. Nadal is a tough Arbeiter.Die writing is excellent and well researched every aspect. I have no idea how the author found the time to assess and dismantle all of Rafa’s game. He has written so brilliantly, but with eloquence and a lot of exuberance. This book has me read only about 2 weeks, as I was thrilled. It is clear that Rafa Nadal has spent many hours on the tennis court and in the gym and does not have much time to herself. For all the more personal information on this King of Clay, I do not know whether this book will satisfy you. But what you have to realize his personal life has been minimal. There must be at the level of the size he has to rise. So please pray that this book does not reject, because it’s just his tennis-documented successes, for God’s sake, what his life has been up to this point! If you love Rafa, read the book and every piece you can check it out. It is a gift that accounts in the written word have to reflect. How good to read the book and enjoy it, every bit of hard work and determination, walked in the estimate is Nadal’s success wissen.Dieses book a masterpiece and Tom Oldfield has done a good job with this! Do you think Rafa is just somewhere out on the water fishing in Mallorca, but only for a short time before he has to get back to work for us, his fans. They appreciate his efforts, we? I do, and so that’s why I love reading about sie.Ein final point of the quotes and descriptions of his play, I’ve also learned that Rafa is a good man. If I learned nothing else, this would be enough for mich.Möge God protect you and Rafa and all those closest to you and your positivity can be eternal. Amen. Rating: 5 / 5

Man, it’s always the same story: Some wise man decides to make some money on the achievements of someone else. . . This is another of these “copy and paste” unnoficial biographies are available where the author has not interview a single person in relation to his subject. All information is generally known, will copy all information from magazines and Internet articles. And, of course, release a “biography” of someone who made just 23rd . . Rating: 1 / 5

The writing is bad. . . a collection of over-used phrases and clichés. The treatment is questionable, since the work of the misspellings and grammatical errors. But worst of all, after you’re done, you will have learned very little about Rafa. The book is simply a new edition of Rafa hits in recent years. No interviews, no personal information. Background data presented was simply Reproduction quotes from other media. Rating: 1 / 5

As my title suggests, I am not a fan of this book. I was excited to receive it and read it immediately. There was nothing in the book I did not know. It did not take to increase my knowledge of Rafa. And it was all about Rafa’s game. Nothing about Rafa not to need you to feel closer to Rafa after reading this book. I hate to say this about each book, but it was a total waste of my time and money. Very disappointing. I really want to know why it was compiled and published. Rafa has come, that is to say not his official biography. I suggest waiting for his official autobiography, or other books. If you have follwed closely Rafa and you read a lot about him, there’s absolutely no reason for you to read them, none at all.

I eagerly awaited this book to learn more about Rafa – take one of the most exciting sports performers. As a tennis fan, I already knew a few basics about him, but nothing could prepare me for this lousy disappointment. Can a biography without consulting a single person? Could a person electrifying life story illegible boring? The book was apparently created by “shining” match reports from newspapers and news agencies accounts. It’s amazing page after page after page of generic sports travel report:. . . so after the first set easily, Rafa unusually relaxed, so that the fiery ______ back into the game by dropping the tie-break, he found his purple patch and then rolled over the hapless opponents 6-1 in the third. . . It reminded me somehow of the storied Reagan broadcasting practice new to baseball games by reading the telegraph, rather than actually at stake. The ONLY one fact about his life I learned from this book was that at some early time at Bollettieri’s output – no details, no quotes from coaches, no childhood pals or junior opponents. Wow – talk phone calls in! It is far more bio information Rafa in the splendid new book Wertheim Strokes of Genius: Federer, Nadal and the greatest match I ever played. If I sound bitter, I’m – unfortunately, learning more about the fascinating Rafa and his rise through the tennis ranks expecting someone who is willing, indeed his life to research. Rating: 1 / 5
