One of the most consistent players in 2017, Rafael Nadal has forgotten all his injury troubles of the past few seasons and fought his way back to the top.

A heartbreaking loss to Roger Federer in the final of the Australian Open was followed by a flawless French Open campaign, where he clinched a record-breaking tenth title.

Having progressed to the Round of 16, he faces a tough route going forward in the competition and will take on another left-hander in Gilles Muller. Rafa will be looking to erase the ghosts of the past as Muller was the man who handed the Mallorcan his first loss at the Wimbledon 12 years ago. Should he go through, he could possibly face Marin Cilic in the quarter-finals.
