Historic achievements

Nadal has been the most successful player in history on clay courts. He has a 59–8 record in clay court tournament finals and has lost only twice in best-of-five-set matches on clay. He has won 12 French Open titles, 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 Roland Garros 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. 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. 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 Roland Garros 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. Nadal has never been extended to 5 sets even once in 12 French Open Finals wins. Nadal never lost 2 consecutive matches on clay in his entire career. Many tennis critics and top players regard him as the greatest clay-court player of all time. Nadal 12 FO titles are new record surpassing the old record of 11 AO titles by Margaret Court. Nadal is the only player to defeat Federer in 3 different Grand Slam finals, they never met in US Open.
Nadal is the sixth male player to be ATP No. 1 for more than 200 weeks, joining Connors, Lendl, Sampras, Federer and Djokoivc.
Nadal is the 3rd male player to win more than 100 million US Dollars in prize money after Djokovic and Federer.
Nadal is only the 2nd male player in history to have won at least 2 Grand Slam titles each on Grass, Hard Courts and Clay, along with Mats Wilander.
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 29 matches against his primary rivals Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic in majors and he leads 19–10. He is 12–1 on clay 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 457 hard court wins ranks him No. 5 on the Open Era list, and his 966 total match wins have only been achieved by three other players in the Open Era. He holds the record for winning at least 1 Grand Slam title in 10 consecutive years breaking the previous record of 8 consecutive years held by Bjorn Borg, Pete Sampras and Roger Federer.
As of December 2019, Nadal has the all-time Open Era record for overall best career winning percentage at 83.22%, ahead of Novak Djokovic's 82.69% winning percentage.
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.
He is also the first, and only male player to date, to win three consecutive Grand Slam tournaments on three different surfaces in the same year. 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. Ivan Lendl and Rod Laver attained this twice.
Nadal has a stand-alone record of 35 ATP Masters 1000 titles, 51 finals and 72 semifinals.
Because of these many accomplishments, as well as his career winning record against Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal is considered by some sports analysts and players to be the greatest male tennis player of all time.

46-win streak at the Monte-Carlo Masters

Between 2005 and 2013 inclusive, Nadal won 46 consecutive matches at the Monte Carlo Masters, which is a record for most consecutive wins at one tournament by any man or woman. The streak started in the first round of the 2005 edition with a victory over Gaël Monfils, and ended in the final of the 2013 edition with a straight sets loss to Novak Djokovic.
During this streak Nadal defeated fifteen top ten opponents, nine top five opponents, and four top-ranked players. 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. He then won the next eighteen sets in succession, including winning all ten sets in 2010. During the 2010 event, Nadal lost only fourteen games in five matches, and in three of those matches, he lost just one game, including in the final against twelfth seed Fernando Verdasco.

52 consecutive wins in semifinal matches on clay

From 2004 to 2014 Nadal went 52–0 in semifinals on clay. 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. 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. Nadal also saved two match points in the 2014 Rio Open semifinal versus Pablo Andújar. Nadal won 20 straight semifinal victories against top ten opponents on clay and 12 straight against the top five.
