Since 2004, two names have dominated men's tennis: Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. Each player is legendary in his own right. The Spanish Nadal is the winner of fourteen Grand Slam titles, including five consecutive French Open singles titles from 2010 to 2014, and is the only player ever to win a Grand Slam for ten straight years. Federer, from Switzerland, has spent over three hundred weeks of his career ranked as the number-one player in the world and has won seventeen Grand Slam titles and two Olympic medals. But neither player's career would have been nearly as successful without the decade-long rivalry that pushed them to excel to the peak of tennis excellence. Nadal and Federer have met thirty-four times over the course of their careers, and have shared the distinction of being ranked the two best players in the world for an astounding six years in a row from 2005 to 2009. In Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, international sports journalist Sebastian Fest uses information gleaned from his numerous interviews with both players over the last decade to narrate the rivalry, and its impact not only on the players, but on the sport itself. Documenting their respective wins and losses, hopes and disappointments, and their relationship with their rival, Fest formulates a unique biography of two of the greatest players of tennis. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Sports Publishing imprint, is proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in sports: books about baseball, pro football, college football, pro and college basketball, hockey, or soccer, we have a book about your sport or your team.

EL HOMBRE DETRÁS DE LA LEYENDA: LA APASIONANTE HISTORIA DEL DEPORTISTA ESPAÑOL MÁS GRANDE DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS. Tras casi treinta años cubriendo el deporte más elegante del mundo, el periodista Sebastián Fest rememora en este libro las decenas de conversaciones que ha mantenido con Rafael Nadal sobre el tenis y la vida misma. Dentro y fuera de las pistas. Encuentros en Mallorca, París, Madrid, Londres, Nueva York, Miami, Acapulco, Buenos Aires, Shanghái, Melbourne, Dubái, Atenas y otros escenarios que han acogido los más grandes torneos del tenis mundial para descifrar la personalidad del hombre que ganó catorce veces Roland Garros y dio forma, junto a Novak Djokovic y Roger Federer, a una era dorada de este deporte. Este es un libro cercano y a la vez crítico, minucioso y sorprendente; un viaje por el mundo del tenis enriquecido con entrevistas exclusivas a rivales, amigos y otras personas cercanas al mallorquín. Un homenaje necesario a la historia y a las hazañas monumentales de un protagonista irrepetible al que el tenis y toda España le deben tanto. Por eso, gracias, Rafa. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION &nbsp; THE MAN BEHIND THE LEGEND: THE FASCINATING STORY OF THE GREATEST SPANISH ATHLETE OF ALL TIME. Journalist Sebastián Fest has spent nearly thirty years writing about the world's most elegant sport. In this book, he recalls dozens of conversations with Rafael Nadal about tennis and life on and off the court. &nbsp; In Mallorca, Paris, Madrid, London, New York, Miami, Acapulco, Buenos Aires, Shanghai, Melbourne, Dubai, Athens and other stages for the world's biggest tennis tournaments, Fest has had ample time to study the character of the fourteen-time Roland Garros winner who, along with Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, led a new golden era for the sport. &nbsp; At once familiar and critical, this meticulous and surprising account is a journey through the world of tennis, sprinkled with exclusive interviewers with rivals, friends and others close to the superstar from Mallorca. It is a fitting tribute to the story and prodigious accomplishments of a player unlike any other, and to which the sport of tennis and Spain owe so much. For these, we thank you, Rafa.

Cuatro veces Balón de Oro y máximo goleador de la historia del Barcelona con apenas veinticuatro años, el fútbol no parece ofrecer límites para Lionel Andrés Messi.¿Hasta dónde puede llegar el astro argentino? Una parte importante de la respuesta está en el Mundial de Brasil 2014, el momento clave en la carrera del 10 del Barça.¿Quién es Leo Messi? Para responder a esa pregunta, los autores recorrieron miles de kilómetros por toda España, Argentina y otros puntos del planeta, desde Qatar a Brasil, pasando por Sudáfrica, Alemania, China, Suiza o el Reino Unido. Hablaron con su familia, con sus compañeros de equipo, con los responsables de su preparación física y su nutrición, con los periodistas que lo siguen día a día, con la afición que lo idolatra, pero también con la que lo detesta, con sus exagentes, con sus médicos, con la gente que lo vio crecer en Rosario y en Barcelona e incluso con sus rivales por un lugar en la historia, como Pelé.A lo largo de estas páginas Fest y Juillard desmenuzan las razones futbolísticas que hacen de Messi un jugador único, pero también las disputas entre los agentes y la familia, algunos mitos erróneos de su historia oficial, la rivalidad con Cristiano Ronaldo y el Real Madrid, los choques con José Mourinho, su especial y no siempre sencilla relación con Josep Guardiola, el papel de su esposa Antonella, el costado brasileño del astro, las dificultades para ganarse el cariño de los argentinos, el polémico manejo de su fortuna y su imagen y la inevitable comparación con Diego Maradona
