🎾 'Rafa' is the first non-English docuseries ever nominated for a Primetime Emmy

Netflix and Skydance Sports' four-part portrait of Rafael Nadal has made Emmy history — no non-English docuseries had received a Primetime nomination before this one.

Directed by Oscar-nominated Zach Heinzerling, the series opens in early 2024: Nadal ranked No. 652, chronic hip injury, nearly two years without a title. The career record behind him: 14 French Open titles, 912 consecutive weeks in the top 10.

The figure that anchors the whole series: the only Grand Slam Nadal ever won without pain was his first Roland Garros in 2004. By October that year he had a broken foot and a Mueller-Weiss syndrome diagnosis. He played for twenty more years.

'Rafa' is streaming on Netflix.
