Rafael Nadal is one of the biggest names in the history of tennis. The legend from Spain has won a record 21 Grand Slams. With his latest win at the Australian Open at the beginning of this year, to move past Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic.

However, there’s one record where Rafa is still trailing the other two big three players. The record is for the number of tennis matches won in Grand Slam events.

In his illustrious career, the Spaniard has created many astonishing records. Although, he is still trailing behind in the record for winning the most number of Grand Slam matches in his career. However, the 35 years old has inched closer to the top of the list after winning his 300th Grand Slam match against Corentin Moutet, 6-3, 6-1, 6-4, in the second round of Roland Garros. With 300 victories, Nadal sits in the third position. Roger Federer still tops the list with 369 wins while Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic is in the second rank with 325 wins.

While the King of clay is active on the tours and is going strong in the ongoing Roland Garros, his fans must be hoping for him to take over the top place on the list in the future.
