Rafael Nadal's journey to Grand Slam glory to be taught to new generations in illustrated children's book

Spain’s legendary tennis star Rafael Nadal’s journey will be taught to children in Spain after it has been published by a picture book.

The 37-year-old is often regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of men’s singles tennis in the Open era, having won as many as 22 Grand Slam titles. Nadal is currently spending time on the sidelines as he continues to recover from a knee injury.

Despite staying away from the action, Nadal’s journey will be used to inspire kids as it has been published in a picture book in Spain. The book series is “Pequeño y Grande” series where Nadal’s journey has been published.

"Pequeña & GRANDE the world's best selling children's biographies collection. That's already over 50 titles! Tennis player Rafa Nadal, considered one of the best athletes in history, is a great reference for the younger ones," stated the publisher in a post on their official Instagram account.

Nadal’s most successful competition has been the French Open where he has lifted the title as many 14 times. It is also a record in the tournament’s history. Nadal has also won an Olympic gold medal in 2008 where he defeated Chile’s Fernando Gonzalez in the final with a score of 6–3, 7–6(7–2), 6–3.
