In 2004,18-year-old Nadal helped Spain win the Davis Cup by defeating (击败) Andy Roddick, who was the second-best American player in the world at the time. This made Nadal the youngest player to win a match for a victorious country in the Davis Cup.

Professional(职业的) tennis is played on courts made of three different materials:clay, glass and hard court. The different surfaces have a significant effect on the game, so much so that for many years few players mastered tennis on all three surfaces. Nadal was called“The king of Clay”because he was so dominant(占优势的) on clay courts. But now he is one of several players to win grand slam titles on all three surfaces.

In 2016, Nadal founded a tennis academy in his hometown,Manacor, Spain. His goal was to combine tennis instruction and education so that young athletes would not need to neglect their education. He intends to live in the area long-term and remain involved with it.
