Who Is Rafael Nadal?
Rafael Nadal Parera, born 3 June 1986 is a professional tennis player from Spain. The Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) has him rated world No. 3 in singles; he has been ranked world No. 1 for 209 weeks and has ended as the year-end No. 1 five times.
Nadal holds the record for most Grand Slam men’s singles titles with 21, including a record 13 French Open victories. He has 91 ATP singles titles (including 36 Masters titles), 62 of which he has won on clay.
Nadal has the greatest single-surface victory streak in the Open Era, with 81 straight victories on clay.
Nadal was one of the most successful ATP Tour youngsters, reaching No. 2 in the world and winning 16 trophies before turning 20 years old, including his first French Open and six Masters events.
Nadal rose to No. 1 for the first time in 2008, when he defeated his opponent, the long-time top-ranked Roger Federer, in a historic Wimbledon final.
He also won an Olympic gold medal in singles that year in Beijing. After defeating Novak Djokovic in the 2010 US Open final, Nadal, aged 24, became the Open Era’s youngest player to earn the career Grand Slam, as well as the first man to win three Majors on three distinct surfaces (hard, grass, and clay) in the same year.
He is one of only two players to have completed the career Golden Slam in singles with his Olympic gold medal (the other being Andre Agassi). Toni Nadal, Nadal’s uncle, coached him from 2005 to 2017.
