**Professional Life**:
Rafael Nadal, born on June 3, 1986, is a Spanish professional tennis player, widely considered one of the greatest in the history of the sport. Nadal has won 20 Grand Slam singles titles, including a record 13 French Open titles, known for his dominance on clay courts. His playing style is characterized by a powerful topspin-heavy forehand, an aggressive baseline play, and exceptional stamina.

Nadal turned professional in 2001 and quickly became one of the game's top competitors. Throughout his career, he has achieved numerous records, including over 35 ATP Masters 1000 titles and two Olympic gold medals — one in singles in 2008 and another in doubles in 2016. Nadal has been coached by his uncle, Toni Nadal, until 2017, and since then by Carlos Moyá. His work ethic, competitiveness, and sportsmanship have gained admiration both on and off the court.

**Personal Life**:
Nadal is known for being private about his personal life. He was born in Manacor, Mallorca, to Sebastián Nadal and Ana María Parera. He has a younger sister named María Isabel. In October 2019, Nadal married his long-time partner, María Francisca Perelló, whom he had been dating since 2005. Known as Xisca, Perelló works on projects for the Rafa Nadal Foundation, a charity launched in 2008 to offer educational opportunities to disadvantaged children.

Nadal enjoys fishing, golfing, and playing football in his free time. Despite his global fame, he continues to reside in Mallorca, cherishing a relatively normal life away from the tennis court.
