The greatest claycourt player of all time is also the joint record holder of the most ATP Masters 1000 titles. Rafael Nadal has won 33 ATP Masters 1000 titles till date - the same as Novak Djokovic.
Nadal holds the record of playing in the most ATP Masters 1000 matches - 362. He has also featured in 49 finals - just one shy of the all-time record of 50 currently held by Roger Federer.
Nadal has won the Monte-Carlo Masters a record 11 times - a record for multiple victories at a Masters 1000 event. He won the tournament in the French principality a record eight consecutive times between 2005 - 2012 inclusive. He also holds the record for winning at least one Masters 1000 tournament for 10 consecutive years between 2005 - 2014.
Nadal is the second youngest player to win a Masters 1000 event. He achieved that feat when he won the 2005 Monte Carlo Masters beating defending champion Guillermo Coria in 4 sets. Nadal was only 18 years, 318 days old at the time.
After failing to win both Monte Carlo and Madrid this year, the Spaniard will be looking to bounce back to winning ways and look to grab his maiden Masters 1000 title of 2019 by defending his title at the Rome Masters - a tournament he has won a record 8 times.
