    Rafa Nadal has been part of our lives for 20 years, more than enough time for us to know everything about him… or maybe not. There is a series of data that only very ‘coffee’ people know:<\/p>\n

    He beat the legendary Pat Cash when he was 14 years old<\/h3>\n
    \n

    Rafa’s first major victory came in 2001, at age 14, when he defeated former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash in an exhibition.<\/p>\n

    Cash said: “The next day I called several of my sponsors and told them to invest in this guy. I’m sure they now regret their indecision.”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Passion for chocolate<\/h3>\n

    Rafa is a big chocolate addict, to the point that they have hidden it at home so that he can’t find it at night.<\/p>\n

    Left-handed and right-handed, but the opposite of Moy\u00e0<\/h3>\n

    Rafa is known as the best left-hander of all time, but in his day-to-day life he is right-handed. Many people know this fact, but perhaps not the fact that the exact opposite happens to his coach, Carlos Moy\u00e0: he is a closed left-hander for everything except tennis, where he managed to reach the top playing with his right hand.<\/p>\n

    Mercedes in the garage<\/h3>\n
    \n

    In July 2005, Nadal won the Mercedes Cup in Stuttgart and the organization presented him with a brand new Mercedes.<\/p>\n

    His uncle Toni insisted that he keep it in the garage and instead drive a car from a cheaper sponsor to remain humble.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Potential footballer<\/h3>\n
    \n

    In addition to the racket, Nadal was always good at soccer, a sport that he had to leave as a teenager to focus on tennis.<\/p>\n

    We experienced a good example of his skills with the ball in a charity friendly match in which he scored a double hat-trick (6 goals) against none other than Iker Casillas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
