Rafael Nadal becomes the player with most ATP 500 match wins since 2009 following victory over Stefan Kozlov in Acapulco

Rafael Nadal defeated Stefan Kozlov 6-0, 6-3 in the second round of the 2022 Mexican Open on Wednesday to book his place in the quarterfinals. The victory marked the Spaniard's 117th win at the ATP 500 level since 2009, moving him past compatriot David Ferrer, who recorded 116 wins in the same period.

Roger Federer is third on the list with 111 wins, followed by Kei Nishikori with 101 wins.

Overall, Nadal has 167 wins to his name in ATP 500 matches, the fifth-most in the Open Era.

American legend Jimmy Connors leads the pack (241), followed by Ivan Lendl (237) and John McEnroe (210). Among active players, only Federer has more wins (178) than Nadal, while World No. 1 Novak Djokovic is third on the list (110). Overall, Djokovic is tied for 22nd place alongside Rod Laver and Bjorn Borg.

If only hardcourt matches are taken into consideration, however, Nadal is placed at No. 7 on the list of active players (63) and 19th overall. A win in his next match will move him up by one spot in both categories, as he will equal Marin Cilic's tally of 64. The pack is once again led by Federer (150), followed by Djokovic (106).

Nadal will take on Tommy Paul in the quarterfinals. The American defeated Dusan Lajovic in three sets on Wedensday.
