King of Clay — 14-time French Open champion and holder of a record 22 Grand Slams, one of the greatest athletes of any sport.
Rafael Nadal's record of 14 French Open titles from 18 appearances is the most dominant performance at any single major in tennis history. His 2008 Wimbledon final against Federer is universally considered the greatest match ever played. Despite persistent knee injuries that interrupted his career repeatedly, he retired in November 2024 having led Spain to Davis Cup victory in his final match.
His 96.5% win rate at Roland Garros (112 wins, 4 losses) is the most dominant record at any single major in tennis history.
