29 injuries and nearly 2,000 days out: that's the physical cost of Rafa Nadal's career. RTVE wanted to illustrate it with a graphic that traced both his body and his sporting calendar at once, highlighting the injuries that shaped his career the most.

An illustrated graphic reviewing every injury across the career while highlighting the major ones, without losing sight of the overall figure: nearly 2,000 days out.
Gráfico circular con la cronología de las lesiones de Rafa Nadal durante toda su carrera
Circular chart with the full timeline of Nadal's injuries throughout his career, year by year.
Detalle ilustrado de la tendinitis de rodilla derecha de Rafa Nadal
Detail of the right knee tendinitis, one of the injuries that kept him out for the longest.

I illustrated the player's body as the central axis of the graphic and organized the medical leave data alongside it, so both the detail (each injury) and the whole picture (the total time cost) could be read at once.
