Rafael Nadal is one of the most popular tennis players of the century. He started demonstrating his skills in the game of tennis at the tender age of 8, when he won an under – 12 regional tennis championship. But his professional career started at the age of 15, when he participated in two events on the ITF Junior Circuit. He became famous after beating ace player Roger Federer and reached the third round of Wimbledon at the age of 17.
When he was 19, Nadal won the first French Open he played and has never looked back since then. He holds the credit of being the only male player to win a single Grand Slam tournament nine times and he achieved this feat after winning the French Open in 2014. If you have seen him play, then you must know that he is one of the best Clay Court players. He maintains a fit and healthy body by following a rigorous workout routine and strict diet plan.
