Rafael Nadal Reveals the Most Important Moments of His Career
Follow Us
Rafael Nadal is a player who plays every point as if his life depended on it. He wants to win it all, anywhere, always. This attitude has gone a long way in making the Spaniard’s career awesome.
Utter domination on clay and the Roland Garros also shows you his competitiveness. Any other player would have been bored of lifting the same trophy eight, ten, twelve times. Nadal probably wants 12 more.
To me, he is perhaps the most difficult player to beat. He pushes his opponents to the edge physically and mentally. And even when someone does manage to beat him, they leave a part of themselves in that victory. It just takes something from you to beat a healthy Nadal.

“My first Davis Cup in Sevilla, the final against USA was a very important moment. My first Roland Garros in 2005 as well, my first Grand Slam and the first time I won there.”

Nadal also cited his famous Wimbledon final victory against Roger Federer in 2008.
“Several reasons make Wimbledon 2008 a key moment in my career. I’d say the 2009 Australian Open was unexpected due to the way I arrived there, but it was very emotional. Then I’d say US Open 2013 was very special after coming back from a major knee injury that kept me off the court for 7 months. That made it one of the most fulfilling victories.”
The Spaniard sits just one Grand Slam behind the all-time men’s record holder Roger Federer. Currently on 19 Majors, most expect Nadal to equal his Swiss rival(rival? more like friend) at the 2020 Roland Garros.

Furthermore, he has won the Davis Cup 5 times with Spain. If all that wasn’t enough, Rafa also holds the record for most Masters 1000 titles with 35.
This overload of titles and records would faze anyone. I, for one, have enjoyed watching every bit of his career and hope to see much more in the following years.
