nadal’s success does not hold strictly to the clay courts. over the course of his career, he has won 400+ hard court matches as well as 400+ clay court matches. he is the only player, regardless of gender, to have recorded 400+ match wins on both hard and clay courts. he has achieved considerable success on hard courts and grass courts, obtaining multiple grand slams outside of the french open having won 1 australian open (hard), 2 wimbledon (grass), and 3 us open (hard) titles. this fact sets him apart from the other career grand slam winners as none of them have won multiple slams on clay, hard, and grass courts (federer, djokovic, and agassi each only have 1 clay slam & laver never played on hard courts). furthermore, nadal is the second spaniard to win wimbledon, and in 2008 he became only the third player in the open era, after rod laver in 1969 & bjorn biorg in 1980, to win the french open and wimbledon crowns in the same year, also known as the "channel slam", which he would repeat in 2010 (federer would join the club in 2009). nadal is the first spaniard to win the australian open and the first male player in the open era to simultaneously hold grand slams on clay, grass and hard courts which he has achieved three times (french open 2008-wimbledon 2008-australian open 2009, french open 2010-wimbledon 2010-us open 2010, and wimbledon 2010-us open 2010-french open 2011) federer joined the club twice (us open 2008-french open 2009-wimbledon 2009 and french open 2009-wimbledon 2009-australian open 2010) djokovic also joined the club once (wimbledon 2015-us open 2015-australian open 2016-french open 2016). nadal is the only male player in tennis history to win the french open and the us open in the same calendar year three times (2010, 2013, 2017). nadal won the olympic gold medal in singles in beijing (2008) on hard courts (defeating novak djokovic in the semi-finals), the olympic gold medal in men's doubles in rio de janeiro (2016), and has won 9 masters 1000 titles [spread out over four different tournaments. he won 4 canada, 3 indian wells, 1 cincinnati, 1 madrid (2005)]. nadal dominated the north american hard court season in 2013, having already won the indian wells title earlier in the year, he would win his first 26 matches on hard courts by winning the canadian masters, cincinnati masters as well as the us open, thus joining patrick rafter (1998) and andy roddick (2003) in completing the "summer slam".
list of career achievements by rafael nadal
wawrinka and novak djokovic have played 24 times with wawrinka trailing against djokovic; however the two have contested numerous close matches and therefore it is considered a highly competitive rivalry since 2013, including four five-setters at the grand slam level. wawrinka defeated djokovic at all three grand slam tournaments which he won, including two finals matches. wawrinka and djokovic played in three consecutive australian opens (2013–2015), with each match going to five sets, and a five-set match in the u.s. open: in the 2013 australian open fourth round, which djokovic won 12–10 in a fifth set; at the 2013 us open semifinals, which djokovic won 6–4 in a fifth set; and at the 2014 australian open quarterfinals, which wawrinka won 9–7 in a fifth set. wawrinka's win in 2014 broke djokovic's impressive run of 14 consecutive semifinals in grand slam play, ended a 28-match winning streak, and prevented djokovic from capturing a record fifth australian open crown. djokovic got revenge in the 2015 australian open, winning 6–0 in the fifth set, but again it went the distance. in the 2015 french open final, wawrinka defeated djokovic in four sets to claim his second grand slam title and is the only player apart from roger federer to defeat djokovic in the australian open and the french open. most recently, wawrinka defeated djokovic in four sets to win the 2016 us open singles title, thereby completing 3/4 of the career grand slam (only missing a wimbledon title). contrary to most high-profile rivalries, they have played doubles together and maintain a close friendship.
