Rafa was the biggest rival for both Federer and Novak, neither of them could beat him on Roland Garros final. In a way Rafa completely marched his own solid path into the legendary King status. He is unique, in a league of his own. 14 Roland Garros will never be repeated. He is truly the Grand Champ, tHE kING.

Damn, these highlights are a testament to how good Rafa was on grass... for which he doesn't get enough credit! Even apart from that brilliant trilogy of finals against prime Federer, culminating in his first title at Wimbledon in 2008, and also the title run in 2010, these highlights belong to a player who, on this surface alone, deserves legendary status! All the way till the last match he played against Fritz in 2022 with an injury, he brought the fight and won like a true gladiator! ♥

Rafa's legacy on clay is unrivalled for the ages, but his records on hard court and grass are never shy of amazing. Roger and Novak clearly have more untouchable hard court and grass records, but Rafa's gradual mastery of Wimbledon grass throughout his early career is scary. Not many people remember or know that Rafa reached 5 consecutive finals from 2006 to 2011 (did not compete in 2009).
