Roland Garros... French Open... with the second Grand Slam of the season just around the corner, we bring you a special episode from Tennis Weekly HQ where we talk Spanish legend Rafael Nadal with renowned tennis journalist and author Christopher Clarey who gives us an honest and insightful portrayal of the King of Clay in his latest book: The Warrior: Rafael Nadal and His Kingdom of Clay.</p><p><br></p><p>With Joel and Kim, Chris takes us behind the scenes of Rafa's relentless rise to dominance on clay, the psyche that defines his greatness, where the biggest impact Uncle Toni made on his game, what he feels were his sweetest triumphs at the French Open in Paris and much more. We also discuss the legacy he has built off of the red dirt at Wimbledon and whether the Roger Federer rivalry could happen one more time on the court. Whether you're a lifelong Nadal fan or simply fascinated by greatness (or should that be GOATness?), join us for the story of Rafael Nadal like never before told as we reflect on one of the sport's most iconic champions.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>BUY THE BOOK 'THE WARRIOR: RAFAEL NADAL AND HIS KINGDOM OF CLAY'</strong></p><p><a href=\"https://www.amazon.co.uk/Warrior-Rafael-Nadal-Kingdom-Clay/dp/1538759136\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Buy on AMAZON</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/The-Warrior-Audiobook/B0DQYQB7PV?source_code=OGC30DFT1Bk115060321903Z\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Buy on AUDIBLE</a></p><p><a href=\"The Warrior by Christopher Clarey  Waterstones https://www.waterstones.com › book › christopher-clarey\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Buy on WATERSTONES</a> (UK)</p><p><a href=\"https://open.acast.com/networks/630c9209217a210012b7925a/shows/630c9209217a210012b79258/episodes/The%20Warrior:%20Rafael%20Nadal%20and%20His%20Kingdom%20of%20Clay%20By%20Christopher%20Clarey%20The%20Warrior:%20Rafael%20Nadal%20and%20His%20Kingdom%20of%20Clay%20By%20Christopher%20Clarey%20%C2%A317.39%20World%20of%20Books%20Free%20by%2019/05%2030-day%20returns%20(most)\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Buy on WORLD OF BOOKS</a></p><p><br></p><p>Grab your copy now!</p><p><br></p><p>Follow Chris on Substack</p><p><a href=\"https://christopherclarey.substack.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://christopherclarey.substack.com/</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>SOCIALS</strong></p><p><br></p><p><em>Follow us on </em><a href=\"https://twitter.com/tennisweeklypod\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Twitter</em></a><em>,&nbsp;</em><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/tennisweeklypod/?hl=en-gb\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Instagram</em></a><em>, </em><a href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@tennisweeklypod\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><em>TikTok</em></a><em> and&nbsp;</em><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClqu9TzAc_qPg6gONIybRgg\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><em>YouTube</em></a><em>, plus email the show </em><a href=\"mailto:tennisweeklypod@gmail.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><em>tennisweeklypod@gmail.com</em></a><em>.</em></p><p><br></p><p><strong>MERCH</strong></p><p><br></p><p><em>Purchase Tennis Weekly Merch through our </em><a href=\"https://www.etsy.com/shop/TennisWeeklyPodcast\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Etsy</em></a><em> store including limited edition designs by Krippa Design where all proceeds go towards the podcast so we can keep doing what we do!</em></p><p><br></p><p><strong>REVIEWS</strong></p><p><br></p><p><em>***Please take a moment to rate and review the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.
