Rafael Nadal

Rafael Nadal had a interesting life. He is a great tennis player! someday I wish to be like a great tennis player like him. Im a BIG fan of the exciting sport called Tennis. If you don’t know what Tennis is, well GET TO THE PROGRAM but there is lots of ways to explain Tennis. Tennis is not exactly a game. Its a competitive, sweaty, and it’s a HARD GAME. Rafael Nadal conquered it and had became a great tennis player. Now that’s called Grit

He didn’t start out liking Tennis. He used to be a pretty good football (soccer) player. His Uncle, Uncle Toni wanted him to play the not so well known sport called Tennis. In the past Tennis was not really a popular sport. Uncle Toni saw an aptitude for Tennis in Rafael Nadal.

When Rafael Nadal was 8 Years Old, HE WON THE UNDER 12 REGIONAL TOURNAMENT. I only won my first Under 12 when i was 10 years old. He won it when he was 8!! and then he started losing. He was getting frustrated so Uncle Toni stepped up his training. He turned professional at 15!!

When Rafael Nadal was 15, he won ATP world tour!!!!!  He almost lost match and that match was 3 HOURS!!!! thats calledGrit! When I play a match, I usually finish off my opponent in 1 hour or 1 hour and a half but my gosh thats a long match. 3 HOURS!!

Rafael Nadal has an interesting life. as I said at the beginning. Now I have told you about Rafael Nadal’s life. I wish someday I could have the skills like him like the footwork, shot tolerance, and agility. Man, thats a lot of skills!
