The association awarded Rafa this honor to highlight his amazing, but lesser-known, efforts through his foundation. He started it started way back in 2008 and over 12 years, this project has focused on sport and education for children. It is very close to his heart, and that is why we can expect him to continue with it for a long time.

Back in 2017, Rafa achieved the incredible ‘La Decima’ at 3 events – the Monte Carlo Masters, the Barcelona Open, and the French Open. No player is even close to touching this achievement. And that is why it would be astonishing to see him do it at a 4th event.

If this is not enough, there are more records that the Spaniard can set during the clay-court season. One of the biggest could come at this year’s French Open, and it is the total Grand Slam record. He is just one Major away from equaling it and hopefully, he can do it when the event starts on September 27th.
