Nadal's 13 French Open titles, in particular, are a record at any tournament and he has won 20 Grand Slam men's singles titles, an all-time record shared with Roger Federer.
His dominance on clay is also highlighted by 62 of his 88 ATP singles titles coming on the surface, including 26 of his 36 ATP Masters titles.

Nadal has been in scintillating form in 2021 as he clinched a record-extending twelfth Barcelona Open trophy and he also won his record-extending tenth Italian Open title.

The 34-year-old says it is easier to win Roland Garros when you have won events in a row before during the clay-court season.
“I want to win events before Roland Garros because I like winning them!” Nadal said.
“Of course it’s easier to win Roland Garros when you have won events in a row before during the clay-court season, like I’ve done throughout my career.
"But at the same time I’m nearly 35 and my situation is a little bit different. The main goal for me is to give myself a chance," he added.
"I want to give myself chances to be competitive in every single event.”
