  The guy missed 16 grandslams due to injuries, that&apos;s 4 years off his career and still managed all those GSlams.

  What he did in 2022 is testimony to his power. Guy did surgery and had no preseason training and beats Medvedev who had beaten Djokovic in US Open in that comeback win. Then doesn&apos;t lose any games leading up to French open. Wins the French (beats Djokovic) as well then injuries again but still went to semis of Wimbledon then wins his game and defaulted (idk if he would&apos;ve beaten Kyrgios but he was a fav) amazing. My Goat.

  As I grew up with this sacred monster, he made me fall in love with the clay and tennis, he will subjectively always be my goat, because he always threw his heart over the obstacle and Like all his fans I wonder if he had had fewer injuries what else he could have done. Long live and other exciting matches for the King of Clay

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sh3wpWZe29s&amp;t=963">16:03</a> &nbsp;I would add these two facts to your list of sensational Rafa career achievements...<br>1. &nbsp;Rafa is probably the greatest Davis Cup player of all time. &nbsp;He is 29-1 in Davis Cup singles - and his only loss was his very first match on February 6th of 2004 at age 17. &nbsp; He has had 29 consecutive singles wins over the rest of his career. &nbsp; Rafa and Feliciano Lopez lost a Davis Cup doubles match (7-9 in the 5th set) on September 24th, 2005. &nbsp; Rafa has won EVERY Davis Cup match that he has played since that match. &nbsp; From September 25th, 2005 through today (February 18th, 2024)... Rafa is 25-0 in singles &nbsp;and &nbsp;7-0 in doubles. &nbsp; He led Spain to FIVE Davis Cup wins.<br><br>2. &nbsp;Rafa has dominated his greatest rivals at the sport&apos;s biggest tournaments. &nbsp;His record vs. Novak at the Grand Slams is 11-7 (.611) and his record vs. Roger is 10-4 (.714).<br>Rafa is 21-11 vs. his two great rivals in Grand Slam matches (.656 W%).<br>Novak is 18-17 vs. his two great rivals in GS matches (.514 W%). &nbsp; &nbsp; Novak is 11-6 vs. Roger &nbsp;and &nbsp;7-11 vs. Rafa.<br>Roger is 10-21 vs. his two great rivals in GS matches (.323 W%). &nbsp; &nbsp; Roger is 4-10 vs. Rafa &nbsp;and &nbsp;6-11 vs. Novak.<br><br>If we add the next biggest match that Rafa and Novak played (the Olympics) &nbsp;Rafa is 12-7 vs. Novak (.632 W%).<br>Rafa also beat Novak in their only meeting in Davis Cup play (which I consider to be their next biggest match) &nbsp;which puts Rafa up 13-7 (.650 W%) in their 20 biggest matches.<br>Btw... &nbsp;both the Olympic match and the Davis Cup match were on a hard court. <br><br>I will throw in one more just for fun... &nbsp;Rafa has finished the year in the TOP TWO a record 13 times.

  I would add that he won 5 Davis Cups for his country, sometimes at the expense of his health, while others were more sticking to their personal careers … that’s a big thing !!… and it gives a big hint about his character !

  Rafa&apos;s sheer power and resilience is very hard to beat. From his energetic entrance to the arena and throughout the match he maintains amazing level of performance. Also &nbsp;we witness his wonderful sportsmanship in and outside of tennis courts.
