Nadal won the gold medal at the Olympic Games in Beijing. He now has won 31 titles in his career, including 12 Masters Series and 5 Grand Slams.
He also won in Toronto, Canada (TMS), Wimbledon (GS), Queen's Club in London, England (his first title on grass - the first Spaniard to do so since Manuel Orantes in 1972), Hamburg, Germany (TMS), Monte-Carlo (TMS - where he also won the doubles title with Tommy Robredo), in Barcelona, Spain and at the French Open in Paris (GS) this year.
He claimed his fourth consecutive title in Roland-Garros, tying Bjorn Borg's record. He joins Ilie Nastase (73) and Borg (78, 80) as the only players to win the French Open without dropping a set. He is 28-0 and has lost 7 sets, 3 of them to Federer, lifetime in Roland-Garros. He is 115-2 on clay since the beginning of 2005. He is now an all-time best 22-1 lifetime in clay court finals, the only loss coming last year in Hamburg to Roger Federer. (updated 8/17/2008)
