Rafael Nadal: all 92 career singles titles
Rafael Nadal won 14 French Open titles, more than any player in Grand Slam history.
Rafael Nadal, the king of clay
Nadal won 22 men’s singles Grand Slams, only behind Novak Djokovic with 24 in the all-time list. More than half of them came at one Slam and on one surface that the Spaniard became synonymous with: the French Open.
No player has won more than Nadal’s 14 Roland-Garros titles throughout a dominant 18-year span, in which the king of clay defended his crown 10 times and recorded an unbelievable 97% win percentage.
Nadal’s Parisian legacy was secured when a statue of him was unveiled at Roland-Garros in 2021, while he played his last Olympic match on the Court Philippe-Chatrier at Paris 2024.
The Mallorcan won the US Open four times and has two Australian Open and Wimbledon titles apiece.
One of his most iconic performances came in the 2008 Wimbledon final, where Nadal defeated the then-five-time reigning champion Roger Federer in a five-set classic.
Nadal, two-time Olympic champion for Spain
Born in Manacor on the Balearic Island of Mallorca, Nadal competed at four Olympic Games across 20 years for Spain.
After debuting at Athens 2004, he brought home gold at Beijing 2008 in the men’s singles event, his 31st singles career title and certainly the most unique one.
Nadal won his second gold medal in men’s doubles at Rio 2016, going all the way to gold alongside Marc Lopez. He was also the Spanish flagbearer at the Opening Ceremony.
The Spaniard also featured in the Opening Ceremony at Paris 2024, where he surprised fans by receiving the torch from French football legend Zinedine Zidane as well as being one of the Torchbearers on the river Seine.
Nadal’s Olympic farewell came at Roland-Garros, exiting the singles competition to rival Djokovic in the second round. Nadal’s final Olympic match was in the men’s doubles alongside Carlos Alcaraz, who many see as the heir to his throne.

Nadal's countless tennis records
Is it possible to sum up Nadal’s records in a few hundred words? No, but here are the best.
Nadal completed the Career Golden Slam aged 24 – the youngest male player to achieve the feat - and he is the only player to achieve that and win Olympic gold in singles and doubles history.
Alongside his record number of French Open titles, he is the most successful player in the ATP tour events of Monte-Carlo and Barcelona, with 11 and 12 titles respectively.
Between April 2005 and May 2007, Nadal won 81 matches in a row on clay courts, the longest winning streak on a single surface in the Open Era.
He also pulled off the Surface Slam, winning majors on three different surfaces in the same year in 2010, and the Double Channel Slam (winning the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year) on two occasions.
