5.0 out of 5 stars nadal and federer, October 24, 2006

By	Araceli Fraile Gutierrez "pcg ATON" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Rafael Nadal is all passion.
Rafa is and will be for many years to come the best Roland Garros player in history so as Federer will be the best Wimbledon player in history.
Rafa is in constant progression and has not yet arrived to his zenith.
What makes Rafa so special is its character, stamina, iron will and his passion in every rally.
Apart from tennis Rafa loves golf, fishing and soccer(football).
On soccer both Nadal and Federer agree that it is their favourite sport after tennis.
Both say that if they hadn't been professional tennis players they would have been soccer(football) players.
Both Nadal and Federer were supporting Real Madrid at the
Santiago Bernabeu Stadium 22 OCT 2006 (Real Madrid 2 - Barcelona 0),
do you imagine them both playing in the same squad.
That is what the mass media is trying to prepare.
Nadal and Federer playing doubles. That would be huge.
Nowadays you can't understand Nadal without Federer aswell as you couldn't understand Agassi without Sampras.
In Nadal's life you encounter a very normal guy.
He says that he wouldn't like to marry a top model but rather a very normal girl without so much hype.
Nadal is what he is because of an incredible extensive family support.
His is a ripe nuclear family with all the traditional roman catholic values. On top of that his family has always been surrounded by sports.
His trainer is his uncle Toni NADAL and his other uncle is former
F.C. Barcelona and SPAIN football player Miguel Angel NADAL.
Nadal needs to improve his serve, volley and should prevent himself
from relying so much on his stamina because some years later that will not be the player's best strength.

NADAL, you are a hero worlwide not only for your tennis but also for all the gorgeous values that you have learnt at home.

Yours faithfully,

2.0 out of 5 stars too short, December 28, 2007

By	Roger Federer "Dany" (Viterbo, Italy) - See all my reviews

Very nice photos. I would have expected more about Rafa's career. Too expensive for the contents.
