How frustrating is it not to be able to consistently replicate a reliable tennis stroke? Over the years, I've had countless discouraged students tell me that, at their age or skill level, it was probably too late to improve their game very much. But after learning modern tennis techniques, I've also seen the smiles on those same faces that come with the realization that, perhaps for the first time in their lives, they are stroking the ball with consistency and purpose. I wrote this book, 21st Century Tennis, because I quickly became disenchanted with the conventional methods of teaching tennis. Things that well-meaning coaches told me to do felt mechanical and unnatural. I could not replicate the effortless strokes that the pros displayed with ease. Fortunately, I have discovered that tennis is much easier to learn and play when you have the same knowledge as elite, world-class players. Read this book and you will learn: - How to stroke the tennis ball consistently with more pace, more depth and less effort. - A foolproof method to make your timing more consistent and your shots stay in the court. - Seven simple adjustments that will transform the way you approach your main shots; why certain things you do don't work and what to do about it. - How to serve effectively without having to kill the ball. - Tips and drills to speed the process of adjusting to stroking the ball with the same mechanics as all of today's top tennis players. Don't believe anyone who tells you that modern tennis techniques are too difficult for the average player. From beginner to tournament player, you can learn to play with ease, efficiency, and natural athleticism, and I will show you how.

This book is the complete guide to one of the greatest tennis players of the 21st century, winner of 22 grand slam men's singles titles, and undisputed King of the tennis court, Spain's raging bull, Rafael Nadal. This fully illustrated biography charts his journey to the top, from his early days being coached by his uncle Toni in Mallorca and dreaming of being a professional footballer, through his early tournament career, turning professional, his first senior ATP win, first grand slam win at Roland Garros, first Wimbledon win and first Olympic gold medal and record breaking 21st Grand Slam win. Written by Dominic Bliss, a veteran tennis journalist who has followed Nadal’s career closely both on and off the court, this biography tracks Rafa’s journey from painfully shy pin-up boy to senior statesman on the ATP Tour who continues to conquer worldwide, most recently claiming his 14th Roland Garros and 22nd Grand Slam title at the French Open in June 2022. Structured around 10 key matches in his long career, it takes readers from his first national junior championship win at age 14 (when he played with the pain of a broken finger on his racquet hand) through to his 21st Grand Slam title in January 2022, where he came back from two sets down to defeat Daniil Medvedev in an epic 5-set match. From his need for water bottles to be arranged 'a certain way' on the court, to his charity work raising $17 million to help the Red Cross’ efforts to support those impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, this book examines every angle of Rafa as a human being, a model athlete, a serial winner. This definitive work on one of tennis' all time greats is not to be missed!

Learn the Inspiring Story of One of Tennis' Greatest Legends, Rafael Nadal! Read on your PC, Mac, smartphone, tablet or Kindle device. This holiday season, if you buy the print edition as a gift, you can keep the Kindle edition for yourself! In Rafael Nadal: The Inspiring Story of One of Tennis' Greatest Legends, you will learn the incredible story of one of tennis' best players, Rafael Nadal. For the last two decades, three men have dominated the game of tennis: Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, and Rafael Nadal. Nadal will likely go down as the greatest clay-court player to ever grace the court. At the time of this writing, Nadal is just 31 years-old, meaning he will likely have a few years of his career left to capture more grand slams. In this unauthorized biography, we'll explore Nadal's journey to becoming one of the all-time greats, and learn what it has taken him to reach where he is today. Here is a preview of what is inside this book: Early Life and Childhood Junior Years and Early Career Teenage Years and Early Pro Career Nadal's First Grand Slam Title, the 2005 French Open Nadal's Rise to Stardom Nadal's All-Time Rivals Nadal's Personal Life Rafael Nadal's Legacy An excerpt from the book: In the early part of the 21st century, Spain has provided the world with two significant contributions to the sports world. One lasted for nearly a decade, and the second continues to amaze as he enters the twilight of his career.The first is the Spanish national soccer team, who revolutionized the way the game is played thanks to their "tiki-taka" style of quick passing in triangles, emphasis on possession, and intelligent runs into space that stretched opposing defenses. A group of stars led by Andres Iniesta, Xavi, Gerard Pique, Sergio Ramos and many others had an unprecedented amount of success as they bracketed a 2010 World Cup title with European Championship crowns in both 2008 and 2012. The aesthetic beauty of the tiki-taka in which players feint and move in rapid succession as the ball is effortlessly caressed around the pitch is a stark contrast to the violent beauty of Spain's other notable sports export, tennis star Rafael Nadal. A naturally talented yet self-made player, Nadal has turned one of the hardest-hit two-handed shots in the game into a cottage industry of success. His 15 Grand Slam titles are second all-time to arguably the greatest player in the sport's history and his generational peer Roger Federer. His unrivaled dominance of the clay-court surface, highlighted by his record 10 French Open titles, did not just harken the names of Bjorn Borg and Mats Wilander to tennis historians. They also fall in line without debate behind the man known as "Rafa," a spitfire of energy who punctuates his key points with a fist pump and a cry of "Vamos!" In a period when men's tennis was blessed with three of its greatest players, here is the story of the man who not only challenged greatness but became great himself in the process. This is the story of Rafael Nadal Parera.
