Rafael Nadal French Open Record: How many times has he won at Roland Garros

Rafael Nadal has dominated the French Open since he first won back in 2005. But, how many times has he won at Stade Roland Garros?

The 2023 French Open is less than a week away, yet the status of Rafael Nadal’s health will ultimately play a large role in the outcome of the tournament.

How many times has Rafael Nadal, also known as “The King of Clay,” won the French Open at Roland Garros?

He’s known as the “King of Clay” for good reason.

How many times has Rafael Nadal won the French Open?

Rafael Nadal has won the French Open 14 times including his special run last year, which is the record for any Grand Slam tournament. He has won over 97 percent of the matches he has played at the Roland Garros (112-3 career record).

Nadal’s aggressive and fast style of play that he is able to produce on clay has made it nearly impossible for him to be beaten on his favorite surface. Not to mention, a large portion (84 percent) of tennis courts in Spain are clay

Nadal has been working around the clock to do whatever he can to ensure he can participate in the 2023 French Open. It would be the first time he ever missed the tournament since winning his first Grand Slam title at Roland Garros back in 2005. It’s hard to believe that this footage is nearly 20 years old:

Rafael Nadal continues to age graciously despite having to battle through injury in recent years. His work ethic and commitment to the sport are second-to-none and a big part of why he has been able to have such an illustrious career that spans nearly two decades.

Stade Roland Garros has become a home away from home for the Spaniard and it is safe to say no one will be able to dominate this tournament the way he has in his career. It would be a shame to see the French Open go on without him this year as he looks to defend his title from last year, where he defeated Casper Ruud in straight sets (6-3, 6-3, 6-0).

As it stands, Rafael Nadal has the third shortest odds of winning this year’s French Open, per bet365 Sportsbook, which is a good indication that he is preparing to participate in the event.
