    Stats

    14 French Open titles

    Nearly two decades after winning his maiden Grand Slam title, Nadal owns a total of 14 French Open honors (2005-2008, 2010-2014, 2017-2020, and 2022).

    The Spaniard has won eight more Roland Garros titles than Bjorn Borg, who owns six titles (second-most).

    Nadal also holds the record for winning most titles at a Grand Slam and on a single surface (clay).

    Information

    Unbeaten in 14 finals

    Nadal is the only player to be undefeated in 14 finals at a Grand Slam. Only three players are undefeated in six-plus finals at the same Slam (Borg 6-0 at French Open, Pete Sampras 7-0 at Wimbledon, and Novak Djokovic 10-0 at Australian Open).

    Loss

    Only two men have beaten Nadal 

    Nadal has only lost to Robin Soderling and Djokovic at the French Open.

    Soderling defeated him in the fourth round in 2009, while Djokovic remains the only player to defeat Nadal twice in the tournament (quarter-finals, 2015 and semi-finals, 2021).

    Between 2015 and 2021, Nadal was unbeaten in as many as 35 matches at the French Open.

    2022

    Nadal's 22nd major title

    Nadal beat Casper Ruud to win the 2022 French Open men's singles title.

    He claimed victory in straight sets to down an in-form Ruud 6-3, 6-3, 6-0.

    With this win, the Spaniard sealed a record 22nd Grand Slam title. He also became the oldest French Open champion before Djokovic broke this record in 2023.

    Notably, Nadal played through a foot injury.

    Records

    Other notable records of Nadal

    Nadal has an incredible win-loss record of 112-3 at Roland Garros. He has the highest win percentage (97.4) .

    The Spaniard also holds the record for winning 39 consecutive French Open matches.

    It is worth noting that Nadal won four French Open titles without losing a set (2008, 2010, 2017, and 2020), the most for a player.
