With 22 titles and 310 victories, Rafael Nadal has been one of the tennis players with the most achievements in the Majors. The Spaniard has achieved many incredible milestones in the most notable tennis event, the most recent being Wimbledon.
Rafa was unable to fight for the trophy in London after withdrawing before the semi-final with Nick Kyrgios due to an abdominal tear. Still, Nadal left London with some admirable achievements, including his 350th Major appearance.
He came in the fourth round against Botic Van De Zandschulp, and Rafa became the third player with that honor after Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. Nadal began his career at the Majors at Wimbledon 2003 and made it an instant success after reaching the third round at age 17.
Nadal’s first big appearances came in 2005, when he became the last teenager with a Major title after conquering Roland Garros. Improving his game on all surfaces, Rafa lifted the Wimbledon trophy in 2008, followed by the Australian Open half a year later.
The Spaniard completed a career Grand Slam at the 2010 US Open at age 24, becoming the youngest player to do so in the Open Era. Over the years, Nadal has had to miss several Majors due to injuries, but he still leads the pack with 22 titles after big successes this year at the Australian Open and Roland Garros.
Rafa arrived at Wimbledon with 346 Major matches in his career, expecting a good run at the All England Club, as in the previous two visits. Suffering from an abdominal injury, the Spaniard got off to a slow start against Francisco Cerúndolo and Ricardas Berankis.
