Rafael Nadal was born in Mallorca, Spain, on June 3, 1986. He is currently ranked world No. 1 in men's singles tennis by the Association of Tennis Professionals. When he was three years old, his uncle, Toni Nadal, a former professional tennis player, started working with him
, seeing an aptitude for the sport in young Rafael. His father, Sebastián Nadal, is a businessman who owns an insurance company. His mother is Ana María Parera, a housewife. He has a younger sister named María Isabel. Another uncle, Miguel Ángel Nadal , is a retired professional footballer , who played for FC Barcelona, and the Spanish national team .
At the age of eight, Nadal won an under-12 regional tennis championship, giving Uncle Toni the incentive to step up his training. Toni noticed at the time that Rafael played his forehand shots with two hands, so he encouraged him to play left-handed, thinking it could give Rafael an edge on the court.
When Nadal was just 12 years old, he won the Spanish and European tennis titles in his age group. He turned professional at age 15. At the age of 19, in 2005, Nadal won the French Open the first time he competed in the tournament, and his world ranking shot to No. 3. Nadal won 11 singles titles that year, eight of which were on clay, and he was soon dubbed the "King of Clay."
In February 2010, Rafael Nadal was featured in the music video of Shakira 's "Gypsy ". and part of her album release She Wolf. Nadal has revealed himself to be
Atheist.
KINDLY WISH HIM A HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
