After Roger Federer‘s retirement, Rafael Nadal lost his main rival. In the end, Nadal stood out against his primary rival with 24 wins over Federer’s 16. Nadal has also surpassed him in the number of Grand Slam titles. His next goal? Being the player with the most Grand Slam wins of all time. The King of Clay currently has 22 titles. One win would equal his record with Serena Williams. Two would put him on the same count as Margaret Court, who has the most grand slam singles of all time, men and women combined. A close friend of his, David Ferrer, talked about the motivation of Nadal to win the upcoming French Open.
