Win-Loss Record: 93-67.

Best Performance: Q/F (Wimbledon 05, Wimbledon 08, Wimbledon 11, US Open 15)

Feliciano Lopez made his grand slam debut at the 2001 French Open, where he lost to fellow countryman Carlos Moya in the opening round. Lopez failed to qualify for the next 3 slams and made his return to Grand Slam tennis at the 2002 French Open as a lucky loser. Lopez defeated Didac Perez for his first grand slam win before succumbing to 3rd seed Tommy Haas in the second round.

Starting from the 2002 French Open, Lopez is yet to miss a grand slam tournament, and has now appeared in 66 consecutive slams. Lopez passed Roger Federer for the top spot in this list at the 2018 Wimbledon, where he lost in the second round to Juan Martin Del Potro.

Lopez is predominantly a grass court player, and it is at Wimbledon where he has had the most success. He has made the quarter-finals at Wimbledon on three separate occasions (2005, 2008, 2011), and has made the 4th round 3 times as well. Lopez also made the quarter-finals of the 2015 US Open, losing to eventual champion Novak Djokovic in 4 tight sets. The Spaniard has made 4th round appearances at Roland Garros as well as the Australian Open. He achieved his career-high ranking of 12 in March 2015.

Lopez won the 2016 French Open doubles title alongside Marc Lopez and has won the Davis Cup 4 times as well. Lopez is 36 and has shown that age is no barrier to consistency. There is a very good chance that he makes 75 consecutive Grand Slam appearances, and wins 100 grand slam matches. If it happens, it will be thoroughly deserved.
