Spaniard Rafael Nadal, the winner of the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics is the proud winner of 79 career titles including 12 Grand Slam titles: 11 French Open, 3 US Open, 2 Wimbledon and 1 Australian Open. His career prize money is a mind-boggling sum of $100,564,598. Nadal took over the tennis scene in 2001. His impressive performance on clay courts has earned him the title of “The King of Clay”, Rafa.

At 32, he already has 17 Grand Slam Titles to his credit. If not for his recurring knee injury because of tendinitis, he could have won a lot more titles. He also could catch up with Roger Federer. Rafael Nadal had a tough time during the very beginning of 2018, he had just recovered from a hip injury and didn’t perform as well as expected. His 11th French Open win was the turning point for him as he was playing on a surface that he could call home.
