Rafael Nadal career statistics

Nadal has been the most successful player in history on clay courts. He has a 60–8 record in clay court tournament finals and has lost only twice in best-of-five-set matches on clay.[3] He has won 13 French Open titles (13–0 in French Open finals and 13-0 in French Open Semifinals), 11 Monte-Carlo Masters and 9 Rome Masters, and won at least one of the three clay-court Masters Series 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 the same tournament 9 times, breaking a 32-year record held by Guillermo Vilas, who won the Buenos Aires title 8 times, the last being in 1982. By virtue of his 9th Monte Carlo title in 2016, Nadal became the first ATP player in history to win two different tournaments nine times each. His 9th Barcelona title in 2016 made him the first ATP player in the Open Era to win 3 different tournaments at least 9 times each (along w/French Open & Monte Carlo). In 2019, by virtue of winning his 9th Italian Open crown, he became the first player in the Open Era to win 4 different tournaments 9 times each (also French Open, Monte Carlo and Barcelona). By winning his 11th Monte Carlo Masters title in 2018, he became the first and only male player in the Open Era to win a single tournament 11 times. Soon after, he would replicate the feat in winning his 11th Barcelona title and 11th French Open crown, which means he owns records for most titles at the ATP 500, Masters 1000, and Grand Slam levels. He also owns the longest single-surface winning streak in the Open Era, having won 81 consecutive matches on clay from April 2005 to May 2007.[4] Nadal has never been extended to 5 sets even once in 13 French Open Finals wins. Nadal never lost 2 consecutive matches on clay in his entire career.[5] Many tennis critics and top players regard him as the greatest clay-court player of all time.[6][7][8] Nadal's 13 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 Federer in three different Grand Slam finals (2009 Australian Open, 2006 French Open and 2008 Wimbledon), they have never faced each other in the US Open.

Nadal is the first player to win 4 grand slams without dropping a set (2008, 2010, 2017 and 2020 French Open) surpassing the old record of 3 grand slams won by Borg without dropping a set. He is also the first player, male or female, to win 100 matches at French Open.[9] He is the only player, male or female, to win 4 consecutive French Open 3 times in his career (2005–2008, 2010–2014 and 2017–2020) surpassing the old record of 3 consecutive Wimbledon won by Sampras twice (1993–1995, 1997–2000) in Sampras career. Nadal is the only player to bagel both Federer (FO 2008) and Djokovic (FO 2020) in a grand slam final.

Nadal is the sixth male player to be ATP No. 1 for more than 200 weeks, joining Connors (268), Lendl (270), Sampras (286), Djokovic (306) and Federer (310). Nadal has qualified for the ATP Finals for a record 16 consecutive years but has been forced to withdraw on six occasions (2005–2020).[10]

Nadal is the 3rd male player to win more than US$100 million in prize money after Djokovic (first) and Federer (2nd).

Nadal is only the 2nd male player in history to have won at least 2 Grand Slam titles each on Grass (2), Hard Courts (5) and Clay (13), along with Mats Wilander. Nadal is the seventh male player to appear in 3 consecutive Wimbledon finals (2006–08) after Borg (1976–81), John McEnroe (1980–04), Boris Becker (1988–91), Stefan Edberg (1988–90), Sampras (1993–95) and Federer (2003–09)

Nadal won five straight French Open singles titles from 2010 to 2014 to become the only player in this event to win five consecutive singles titles. Earlier he had captured four straight French Open singles titles from 2005 to 2008 joining Paul Aymé and Björn Borg as the third man to have won four consecutive singles titles there. In 2017, by winning his tenth French Open title, Nadal became the only male to win ten major titles at a Grand Slam event. He has played 30 matches against his primary rivals Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic in majors and he leads 20–10 (10–4 vs Federer and 10–6 vs Djokovic). He is 13–1 on clay (his best surface) and 7–9 off clay against them.

Despite often being called just a clay court player and early critics saying that his professional career would be short because of his game's physicality and intensity, in April 2018, Nadal became the first player, male or female, to amass 400+ match wins on both hard and clay courts with 425 and 400, respectively. His 480+ hard court wins ranks him No. 5 on the Open Era list, and his 1000+ total match wins have only been achieved by three other players in the Open Era.[11] He holds the record for winning at least 1 Grand Slam title in 10 consecutive years (2005–14) breaking the previous record of 8 consecutive years held by Bjorn Borg, Pete Sampras and Roger Federer.

As of December 2020, Nadal has the all-time Open Era record for overall best career winning percentage (minimum 500 wins) at 83.11% (1004–204 record), ahead of Novak Djokovic's 82.95% winning percentage (934–192).

In 2008, Nadal became the second Spanish man to win Wimbledon. Nadal is only the third male player in the Open Era to have won the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year and the first since Borg in 1980. In 2009, Nadal became the first Spaniard to win the Australian Open, and the first male player to simultaneously hold Grand Slams on clay, grass and hardcourt.[12]

He is also the first, and only male player to date, to win three consecutive Grand Slam tournaments on three different surfaces (clay, grass and hardcourt) in the same year (2010).[13] By winning the 2010 US Open, Nadal completed a men's singles Career Grand Slam at the age of 24, making him the youngest in the Open Era to do so. He is the 7th male player in history to achieve this feat. In addition, Nadal has completed the Career Golden Slam and is the 2nd male player in history to attain this after Andre Agassi. Nadal has won ATP tournaments in 19 different countries.

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). Ivan Lendl (1986, 1987) and Rod Laver (1962, 1969) attained this twice.

Nadal has won 35 ATP Masters 1000 titles, and reached 51 finals and 74 semifinals.

Because of these many accomplishments, as well as his career winning record (60%) against Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal is considered by some sports analysts and players to be the greatest male tennis player of all time.[14][15][16][17][18]

Davis Cup, Laver Cup, ATP Cup and World Team Cup matches are included in the statistics. Walkovers are neither official wins nor official losses.

Nadal's 20 grand slam singles titles rank him 1st all-time tied with Federer and 28 grand slam singles finals rank him 2nd all-time. He has won an all-time record 13 French Open titles. He is the youngest player in the Open Era to win all majors (24 years old). Nadal is one of three players to reach 5+ finals at each of the grand slams, along with Djokovic and Federer.

He also won thirty-one consecutive sets starting with the final two sets of the 2006 final, and ending with the loss of the second set of the 2009 final; this included all ten sets in 2007 and 2008.

This is the all-time record for consecutive semifinal wins on a single surface. He went 45–7 in the finals during this time. The streak was ended by Fabio Fognini in the 2015 Rio Open.[33] To further highlight how unique this streak was, Nadal went 15–8 in clay court semifinals from 2015 to 2019 through the 2019 French Open tournament. Memorable matches in this streak include the 2005 French Open semifinal versus Roger Federer, which was the first ever Grand Slam meeting between the two, the 2009 Madrid Open semifinal and 2013 French Open semifinal versus Novak Djokovic, the 2007 Italian Open semifinal versus Nikolay Davydenko, the 2007 German Open semifinal versus Lleyton Hewitt, and the 2005 Italian Open semifinal versus David Ferrer.

He was seeded 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th in 29 consecutive tournaments in which he played, this streak ran from his first grand slam title, the 2005 French Open, to his when he won his 12th grand slam title, the 2013 French Open, a span of 8 consecutive years. It would have stretched further except that after he won the 2013 French Open title, he dropped from No. 4 to No. 5 in the world.[34] In all 19 of his grand slam titles, he was seeded 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th. Of his 7 runner-up finishes, he was seeded either 1st and 2nd in 6 of them; the only one in which he wasn't a top-2 seed was the 2017 Australian Open, where he was seeded 9th.
