Beijing 2008. Rafael Nadal, tennis © Pierre Lahalle/L'Équipe 13 August 2008. Rafael Nadal has already won the French Open and Wimbledon when he enters the Olympic tournament in Beijing. That day, the Spaniard beat Russia's Igor Andreev in the round of 16 and dominated American James Blake, who had defeated Federer, to add gold to his already busy season. But at the Olympics, he doesn't adopt quite the same preparation as he does on the ATP circuit: "The reason I managed to win the tournament is because I had a blast every day in the village. It's been a great experience." Single later print. Edition 1/1. Printed on Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta Satin 300g paper. Flamant art frame. 53 X 80 cm
