Nadal became the first player in the Open Era to win 10 singles titles at a tournament, when he did so at the 2017 Monte Carlo Masters. He went on to repeat the 'La Decima' feat at the Barcelona Open and Roland Garros that same season.

Federer joined his arch-rival and good friend in the exclusive club when he beat David Goffin to lift his 10th title on the grasscourts of Halle. Later in the season, the 37-year-old beat Australian Alex De Minaur to win his own 'La Decima' at his hometown tournament of Halle - which made Federer the only player to win 10 titles at a tournament on two different surfaces.

Federer became the only player to win 100 matches at a Grand Slam tournament, or for that matter at any tournament, when he beat Japan's Kei Nishikori in the 2019 Wimbledon quarterfinals. If that was not impressive enough, Federer repeated the feat at the 2020 Australian Open after beating John Millman in the third round.

Behind Federer's tallies of 102 wins at the Australian Open and 101 at Wimbledon lies Jimmy Connors, who won 98 matches at the US Open. The next player on the all time list is Nadal, who has 93 match wins at Roland Garros - making him the only active player other than Federer to rake up over 90 match wins at a Major.
