Rafael Nadal

This is a list of the main career statistics of former professional tennis player Rafael Nadal. All statistics are according to the ATP Tour website.[1][2] To date, Nadal has won 92 ATP singles titles, including 22 Grand Slam men's singles titles and 36 ATP Tour Masters 1000 titles. He is one of three men to achieve the Career Golden Slam in men's singles, with titles at all four majors and the Olympic singles gold. He is the first man in history to win Grand Slam singles titles on three different surfaces in a calendar year (Surface Slam) and is the youngest (24) in the Open Era to achieve the Career Grand Slam. He is the fourth man in history to complete the double Career Grand Slam in singles, after Roy Emerson, Rod Laver, and Novak Djokovic. He is the first man to win multiple majors and rank world No. 1 in three different decades.[3]

Representing Spain, Nadal has won two Olympic gold medals including a singles gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and a doubles gold at the 2016 Rio Olympics. In the process, he became the first male player in history to complete the Career Grand Slam and win Olympic gold medals in both singles and doubles. He has led Spain to five Davis Cup titles in 2004, 2008, 2009, 2011, and 2019. He has won the 2017 and 2019 editions of the Laver Cup with Team Europe.

Significant achievements

[edit]

Nadal has been the most successful player in history on clay courts. He has a 63–9 record in clay court tournament finals and has lost only four times in best-of-five-set matches on clay.[4] He has won 14 French Open titles (unbeaten in finals), 12 Barcelona Open titles (unbeaten in finals), 11 Monte-Carlo Masters titles, and 10 Rome Masters titles, and won at least one of the three clay-court Masters tournaments every year between 2005 and 2014. His 9th French Open crown in 2014 made him the first man in the Open Era to win a single tournament nine times, breaking a 32-year record held by Guillermo Vilas, who won the Buenos Aires title 8 times. He subsequently won a ninth title at three more tournaments; 2016 Monte Carlo, 2016 Barcelona, and the 2019 Italian Open. In 2018, he became the sole record-holder for most titles at a single tournament at the ATP 500 (Barcelona), Masters 1000 (Monte Carlo), and Grand Slam (French Open) levels.

He also holds the longest single-surface win streak in the Open Era, having won 81 consecutive matches on clay between April 2005 and May 2007.[5] Nadal has never been taken to five sets in 14 French Open finals, and only lost consecutive matches on clay once since the start of his professional career, at the 2024 French Open.[6] He is regarded universally by tennis critics and top players as the greatest clay-court player of all time.[7][8][9] Nadal's 14 French Open titles are a record for one player (male or female) at a single major, surpassing the old record of 11 Australian Open titles won by Margaret Court. Nadal is the only player to defeat Roger Federer in the finals of three different Grand Slam tournaments as well as on three different surfaces (2009 Australian Open on hard court, 2006 French Open on clay court, and 2008 Wimbledon on grass court). Nadal is also the only player to beat Djokovic in multiple finals at two different grand slams, defeating him 3 times at the French Open (2012, 2014, and 2020) and 2 times at the US Open (2010 & 2013), accounting for 5 of Djokovic’s 13 losses in grand slam finals. He has won six hard-court majors (two Australian Open & four US Open titles), tied with Andre Agassi for the fourth-most in the Open Era, behind Pete Sampras (7), Federer (11) and Novak Djokovic (14).

Nadal is the only player to win four Grand Slam titles without dropping a set (2008, 2010, 2017 and 2020 French Opens) surpassing the prior record of three held by Björn Borg. He is also the first player, male or female, to win 100 matches at the French Open and holds the all-time record for the most match wins at a single major, with 112 at the French Open.[10] He is the only player, male or female, to record three streaks of four or more consecutive titles at a single major in their career (2005–2008, 2010–2014 and 2017–2020 French Open). He has won the most ATP titles (30 titles) without dropping a set, with 26 of these titles won on clay courts and 4 on hard courts.[11]

Nadal is the sixth player to be ranked ATP world No. 1 for more than 200 weeks. Nadal qualified for the ATP Finals for a record 16 consecutive years (2005–2020).[12]

Nadal is the third male player to win over US$100 million in prize money after Djokovic and Federer.

Nadal won five straight French Open singles titles from 2010 to 2014 to become the only player in the tournament's history to win 5 consecutive singles titles, breaking the previous record of 4 titles held by Paul Aymé and Borg. In 2017, by winning his 10th French Open title, Nadal became the first man to win a milestone 10 titles at the same major. He has played 32 matches against his primary rivals — Federer and Djokovic — in majors and leads 21–11 (10–4 vs Federer and 11–7 vs Djokovic). He is 14–2 on clay and 7–9 off clay against them.

In 2018, Nadal became the first player, male or female, to amass 450+ match wins on both hard and clay courts, with 518 and 4&4 wins respectively. His 518 hard court wins and 1080 total match wins ranks him No. 4 on both lists in the Open Era. His 1000+ total match wins have only been achieved by four other players in the Open Era (Connors, Federer, Djokovic, and Lendl).[13] He holds the record for winning at least one Grand Slam title in 10 consecutive years (2005–14) breaking the previous record of 8 consecutive years held by Borg, Sampras and Federer. He also holds the record for most years (15) winning at least one Grand Slam title (2005–14, 2017–20, 2022).

In 2008, Nadal became the second Spanish man to win Wimbledon. Nadal is one of only two male players in history to have won the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year at least twice, after Rod Laver and Borg. In 2009, Nadal became the first Spaniard to win the Australian Open.[14]

He is also the first of two male players to win three consecutive Grand Slam tournaments on three different surfaces (clay, grass, and hard courts) in the same year (2010), a feat later achieved by Djokovic (2021).[15] By winning the 2010 US Open, Nadal completed a men's singles Career Grand Slam at the age of 24 years, 3 months and 10 days, making him the youngest in the Open Era to do so. He is the 7th male player in history to achieve this feat.

He is the only male player to win the French Open and the US Open in the same year four times (2010, 2013, 2017, 2019).

Nadal has won 36 ATP Masters 1000 titles, the second-most since the start of the category in 1990, and reached 53 finals, and a record 99 quarter-finals.

50 consecutive set win streak on clay

[edit]

This is the longest single-surface and clay-court set win streak in the Open Era. Nadal broke John McEnroe's Open Era record of 49 consecutive sets won in 1984 (on carpet) with his 50th set win against Diego Schwartzman. He lost the next day in the quarterfinals to Dominic Thiem.[29] Nadal also broke a 15-year-old record of Guillermo Coria achieved in 2003, where he won 35 consecutive sets on clay. This is followed by Ilie Năstase's 34 consecutive clay sets won in 1973. Nadal has also logged streaks of 32, 31, and two streaks of 30 consecutive clay sets won.[30]

Breakdown: 6–0 (6), 6–1 (12), 6–2 (10), 6–3 (10), 6–4 (10), 7–5 (1), RET (1).

46 match win streak at the Monte-Carlo Masters

[edit]

Between 2005 and 2013 inclusive, Nadal won 46 consecutive matches at the Monte Carlo Masters, which is a record for most consecutive wins at a single tournament by any man or woman in the Open Era.[31] The streak began in the first round of the 2005 edition with a victory over Gaël Monfils, and ended in the final of the 2013 edition with a straight sets loss to Novak Djokovic.[32]

During this streak, Nadal accumulated 15 Top 10 wins, nine Top 5 wins, and four wins against a top-ranked player (Roger Federer in the 2006, 2007 and 2008 finals, and Novak Djokovic in the 2012 final). He also won 31 consecutive sets in matches, starting with the final two sets of the 2006 final and ending with the loss of the second set in the 2009 final; this included all ten sets in 2007 and 2008. He then won the next 18 sets in succession, including winning all ten sets in 2010. During the 2010 event, Nadal lost only 14 games in five matches, while losing only one game in three of those matches, including in the final against Fernando Verdasco.

25 consecutive wins in Grand Slam matches

[edit]

From the 2010 French Open to the fourth round of the 2011 Australian Open, Nadal went 25–0 at the majors. He became the first man to win 21 consecutive Grand Slam matches in a single calendar year since Rod Laver in 1969. The streak was ended by compatriot David Ferrer in the 2011 Australian Open. Prior to 2010, Roger Federer achieved two streaks of three consecutive major titles (winning at least 21 matches) but never within the same calendar year, as Federer's streaks always ended at the French Open to Nadal in the middle of the calendar year.

Davis Cup

[edit]
Nadal plays Andy Roddick at the Las Ventas bullring in Madrid, Spain during the 2008 Davis Cup semifinals. A clay court was specially constructed within the arena for the event.[36]

Nadal played with La Armada in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, and 2011 winning the trophy in 2004, 2008 and 2009, as well as in 2011 and 2019 and fighting to remain in the World Group in 2005 and 2006. He was not able to play the final of the 2008 Davis Cup due to an injury of his left knee but he later received a replica of the cup given to the members of the Spanish team which played in Argentina, being David Ferrer, Marcel Granollers, Feliciano López and Fernando Verdasco.
