Chris Clarey

We start the show talking Phillies baseball before being joined by Author/Writer Chris Clarey from over at Roland Garros to talk some French Open, a changing of the guard and his new book The Warrior: Rafael Nadal and His Kingdom of Clay

Paris... 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. 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.

A career relentlessly put together by Rafael Nadal has been painstakingly chronicled and analysed by author Christopher Clarey in his new book 'The Warrior - Rafael Nadal and His Kingdom of Clay'. In conversation with David Law, Chris describes the teenage Nadal he knew, his unprecedented, absurd dominance at Roland Garros, and the backlash to his success that followed in France. They talk about the process of putting the book together, and what might follow next, for Nadal, for tennis, and possibly a Novak Djokovic follow-up for the author. The Warrior is available this week, wherever you get your books. Buy tickets for Tennis Podcast Live in London on Thursday 26th June at Shoreditch Town Hall.
