Rafael Nadal was looking unbeatable this year, wasn’t he? The Spaniard had a memorable time in Australia, first winning the Melbourne Summer Set title and then clinching the Australian Open title. In the process, the 35-year-old created history by becoming the first man to win 21 major titles.

Further, continuing his impressive start to the season, Nadal won the ATP 500 title in Acapulco, Mexico. However, Nadal lost his first match this season when he went down to the local hero, Taylor Fritz, in the summit clash of the BNP Paribas Open. Nonetheless, this defeat had come after Nadal was on a 21-match winning streak.
