3 male tennis players who have won a single Grand Slam the most number of times

Rafael Nadal - French Open | 12 times

Nadal with his first French Open title

No player in the history of the sport has defined one particular Grand Slam in the same way that Rafael Nadal has defined the French Open. The legendary Spaniard has won a whopping 12 French Open titles and has not lost the final even once. Nadal won four consecutive French Open titles between 2005 and 2008. He then won another five in a row between 2010 and 2014.

And, after a gap of two years, the clay-court maestro won three more consecutive titles in 2017, 2018 and 2019. Nadal has lost just two matches in his entire career on his favorite clay court. And, none of the finals that he has played at the French Open have even lasted five sets. Such has been Nadal’s domination at the French Open.

Even if we were to count only his French Open triumphs, he would still rank at No.5 in the list of all time Grand Slam winners!
