Nadal Passes Lopez Test To Enter 1,000-Wins Club

Spoiler:

Spaniard to face Thompson in third round

Rafael Nadal became only the fourth player to earn 1,000 Open Era singles victories on Wednesday, as he opened his title bid at the Rolex Paris Masters with a 4-6, 7-6(5), 6-4 comeback victory against Feliciano Lopez.

In his first match since he captured a record-extending 13th Roland Garros title last month, Nadal served 16 aces and saved three of four break points to make further history in the French capital. The Spaniard, who is chasing his first title at the Accor Arena, improved to 20-5 at the ATP Masters 1000 tournament.

“[Winning 1,000 matches] means that I am old. That means that I played well for such a very long time, because to achieve that number is because I have been playing well for a lot of years and [that] is something that makes me feel happy,” said Nadal.

“I just can say thank you very much to all the people that helped me and all the people that in any moment of my life helped me to be where I am.”

Nadal snapped a two-match losing streak against Lopez and improved to 10-4 in his ATP Head2Head series against his countryman. Lopez claimed victories in his past two matches against Nadal at the 2014 Rolex Shanghai Masters and the 2015 Western & Southern Open.

“I started the match in the worst way possible, especially against a big server like Feli,” said Nadal. “After that, I played under a lot of pressure the rest of the match, but I found a way. That's the main thing... This victory is one that I am very proud of. The personal satisfaction sometimes is bigger when you win these matches than if you go on court and you win 6-3, 6-3.”

Rafael Nadal 1000 wins

Nadal is aiming to capture his first Rolex Paris Masters title. The 2007 runner-up has reached the quarter-finals or better in each of his previous seven tournament appearances.

The top seed's comeback win marked the second time he has reached a notable win milestone in Paris. Nadal also earned his 900th tour-level victory in the French capital with a third-round win against Richard Gasquet at 2018 Roland Garros.

Nadal will face Jordan Thompson for a place in the quarter-finals. The Australian rallied from a set and a break down to overcome St. Petersburg runner-up Borna Coric 2-6, 6-4, 6-2.

The 35-time Masters 1000 titlist opened the match with attacking intent, but he dropped his opening service game after committing multiple errors. Lopez was dominant behind his first serve (14/15) to maintain his advantage and claim the opening set.


Lopez served well under pressure and saved five break points to reach a second-set tie-break. In a close fought-tie-break, Nadal served with confidence and clinched the only mini-break at 3/3 by stepping in on his second serve return and rushing the net.

Nadal raised his game in the third set, as he found greater consistency on his forehand and began to dictate rallies. The Spaniard rushed his opponent by stepping in on his return in the opening game of the decider and claimed his place in the third round when Lopez struck a forehand approach into the net.

RAFA’S JOURNEY TO 1000 WINS

Spoiler:

Spaniard becomes just the fourth player to reach 1,000 match wins in the Open Era
Dave Seminara
The Spanish word for resistance and endurance is resistencia. It’s a word that Rafael Nadal knows well. From an early age, his coach, Uncle Toni Nadal, stressed that a player’s choice is to endure or to surrender.

Nadal’s resistencia can be measured in the rivers of sweat he’s poured onto courts of all surfaces from Mallorca to Montreal and beyond. Before the first ball is struck, his opponents see that sweat pouring off of every inch of his body: drip, drip, drip.

They see his primal energy and the intensity in his eyes and sense that they’re in for an ordeal. That sinking legion of doom fear intensifies for the faint of heart during his pre-match ritual—the ominous jumping up and down, the trademark sprint to the baseline after the coin toss, even his arranging of bottles must look menacing to some because the habit speaks to his meticulous preparation.

In his autobiography, Rafa, the humble Spanish champion neatly summarised his approach to the sport: “Tennis is my passion, but I also think of it as my work, as a job I try to do as honestly and well as if I were working in my father’s glass business or my grandfather’s furniture store.”

Today at the Rolex Paris Masters, Nadal had yet another great day at work, earning his 1,000th victory on the ATP Tour, beating Feliciano Lopez, who walked on the court with a bit of hope and perhaps a healthy dose of fear, but, like hundreds of other Nadal victims who have come before him, left looking like he’d been mugged.

Hundreds of players from around the world know this feeling well, as Rafa’s been deflating egos from Alicante to Zagreb for nearly 20 years. His preternatural capacity to suffer and endure is not new. Competing in Spain’s national championship for under-14s one year, he broke his finger in a first-round match, but won the tournament anyways, gripping the racquet with his four good fingers and the pinky finger dangling.

Over the years, Nadal would endure many more injuries—his knees, wrists, feet, back, hamstrings and other body parts all sidelined him for spells—fueling his doubters, who insisted that he’d never have a long career with his brutally physical style of play. Perhaps no other champion of his calibre has faced and ultimately silenced as many naysayers as Rafael Nadal has.

Rafael Nadal Parera’s road to 1,000 wins officially started at age 15 with a first-round win at the Mallorca Open over Ramon Delgado, a Paraguayan then ranked No. 81 in the world. His triumph netted him 15 FedEx ATP Rankings points and a cheque for $5,850.

It was a good start and he was determined to turn pro, though his mother still wanted him to go to university. The matter was settled when he (supposedly) accidentally left his schoolbooks on a plane one day and decided his school days were over. $122 million in prize money and much more in endorsements later and no one has ever questioned the decision.

A year after his first ATP win, in 2003, he made it to the third round of Wimbledon and finished the year ranked just inside the Top 50 at just 17 years old. But the rippling biceps weren’t there yet, nor were the pirate pants and muscle shirts that would later become his signature look for a time. The early Nadal doubters wrote him off as a clay-court specialist, with one writer calling him a “belligerent, inelegant grinder”.

But when Nadal made it to the final of Wimbledon four times in a five year spell from 2006-2011 (he didn’t play in 2009), winning the title twice, his detractors could no longer dismiss him as a mere dirt devil. When he started beating Roger Federer with regularity on grass and hard courts, some observers in the media and in the tennis establishment reacted with barely disguised hostility.

After all, no one had ever seen a brawny and bold character quite like him before. GQ referred to Nadal as “a side of beef rolling around in the clay… all biceps and pantalones.” A Sports Illustrated writer likened his brash emergence at Wimbledon to a “street thug crashing a cotillion”.

When Nadal was plagued with injuries in 2012 and again from 2014-2017, many we-told-you-so types smugly observed that his savage style of play was catching up to him and precluded the possibility of a long career. Some Nadal sceptics were already writing his tennis epitaph as early as 2015, when he made early exits at Wimbledon and the US Open.



We heard from them again in 2016, when Nadal lost to Fernando Verdasco in the first round at the Australian Open and later that year when he fell to Lucas Pouille at the US Open, prompting one reporter to ask him why he couldn’t perform at his best in big matches anymore.

But even in his “down” years, Nadal still usually won at Roland Garros, his maison, and racked up enough wins elsewhere to make himself an immovable fixture in the sport’s Top 10, where he’s been for a record 789 weeks (and counting).

He’s won more than 60 matches in a season a remarkable nine times, hitting his top number in 2008 with 82 wins. Since failing to win a major in 2015 and 2016, he’s roared back with six more majors since and he’s not close to being done at age 34. Nadal recently remarked to ATPTour.com, “Winning is not normal, and I am always very aware of that”.

The statement could apply to most tennis players but not the southpaw from Manacor. Over the past 15 years, he’s won an average of 64 times per season. That is definitely not normal, but then again, nothing about Rafa is. It isn’t his mind-boggling statistics or all the wins and titles that are most impressive, it’s how he’s done it all with class, grace, humility and sportsmanship.

In fact, an argument can be made that Nadal’s finest hours haven’t come after any of his 1,000 wins, but instead after some of the 201 losses. For example, when he lost to Steve Darcis, then ranked No. 135, in the first round of Wimbledon in 2013, it was clear he was hampered by a knee injury. But when reporters pressed him to talk about the injury after the match he refused to make excuses, just as he always has. “Now is not the right time to talk about my knee,” he said. “The only thing I can do is congratulate my opponent. It is not a tragedy, I lost, it is sport.”

It is that kind of sportsmanship that’s earned him legions of fans around the world, including plenty of converts who may not have been sold on him back in the pirate pants days. He’s a tough guy full of contradictions; he likes to wear pink and loves to cook; he’s afraid of dogs and stepping on lines on the court, and he likes to take an ice cold shower before matches. He’s won 1,000 matches but he signs that many autographs in a single tournament.

"If all goes well, we’ll have time to analyse [the greatest-ever debate] when our careers are over."
Rafael Nadal
His resistencia has given tennis fans ample opportunity to get to know him over the years, and so, with his superstitious ticks, his endearing accent and his aw shucks habit of crediting his opponents after he beats them to a bloody pulp, we feel we know him like a member of our own family. These days, Nadal sceptics are becoming an endangered species who are relegated to muttering to themselves in bus stop shelters and mental institutions, if you can find them at all.

Will he surpass Lendl, Federer, and Connors on the all-time match wins list? At 83.2% his career winning percentage is higher than Lendl (81.5%), Connors (81.8%), and Federer (82.1%). As players inch closer to retirement, their winning percentages nearly always decline, so this comparison is premature, but it’s worth noting that Nadal has compiled his gaudy stats while sharing the stage for his entire career against Federer and Novak Djokovic, two of history’s greatest champions.

Nadal’s odds to break the all-time wins and other records will rest as much on his family and his team as it will depend on his own performance. Perhaps no player’s success has ever been more closely intertwined with his family life and his closeness with his team, relationships that have kept him healthy and motivated. Tennis is an individual sport, but Nadal’s equipo is the tribe that’s helped make him the champion that he is.

Nadal’s 1,000th win is a testament to his resistencia. But he won’t gloat or take a victory lap. When asked by ATPTour.com about his place in tennis history after capturing his 13th Roland Garros title, he modestly demurred, like he always does.

“Honestly, it doesn’t matter to me much,” he said of his records. “I’m happy with my career. At the moment, it’s clear that I’m one of the two (top players in the sport’s history). We’ll see what happens in the next few years: what Djokovic does, what Federer does when he returns and what I keep doing. If all goes well, we’ll have time to analyse it when our careers are over.”

With all due respect to Nadal, he could win another 20 majors and another 1,000 matches and even on his deathbed, he’ll never declare himself the greatest. But many others, including plenty of one-time Nadal sceptics, have already done just that.




STATS & MILESTONES




No. 100: 2005 (Age 19)

Novak Djokovic:
"Some matches that we had against each other were a great turning point in my career. I feel they have made me rethink my game... [The] encounters have also made me the player I am today, without a doubt."

Stefanos Tsitsipas:
"[I'm in awe of] the intensity, his fighting spirit, his speed, movement on the court... It's not very easy to hit winners or play aggressive shots that are going to lead to more defensive balls."

Roberto Bautista Agut:
"He’s an example to everyone... The whole of Spanish sport is very proud of him."

Matteo Berrettini:
"I think he's the greatest fighter ever in this sport... I admire him, the way he is on the court. His attitude is something that's close to perfection."

Diego Schwartzman:
"[He's] like a lion in the middle of the jungle. He's a fighter. He knows how to play the important moments every single time."


Andrey Rublev:
"For me he is the best athlete, not just in tennis, but the best athlete in history."

Pablo Carreno Busta:
"He’s been playing for so many years at such a high level, producing surprises every season. He’s a true one-of-a-kind! ...He’s also a great person. I’m lucky enough to know him quite well and to have shared many moments with him."

John Isner:
"Beating Nadal on clay is literally one of the toughest things in sports... But it's also tough for Rafa, because every time he goes out there, players swing for the fences and have nothing to lose. That's what makes him so great, because he's getting everyone's best shot."

Albert Ramos-Vinolas:
"He’s always showing that he’s from another planet. When you are opposite him and knock up with him, even if it’s just three balls, you can see that the ball comes back in an otherworldly way."

Nicolas Massu:
"Rafa, apart from being a great player, a great person, a great fighter, is an example for youth, for children who play tennis through his image... He never accepts defeat."

Carlos Moya:
"When he beat me (for the first time) he was very shy, very nervous and he told me he was sorry. I also understood that it would be the first of many times he would beat me… He has produced everything that he promised back then, and more."

"It was a game of chess, every point was endless, you had to win the point five times and it was a spectacular challenge."

Juan Carlos Ferrero:
"He manages to compete in almost every point, even when his tennis is not it’s best that day. Rafa is the king of knowing how to adapt to any situation in the match."

Nicolas Almagro:
"He takes you to a very high level of stress which is difficult to maintain for the whole match. That’s why it’s so difficult to play against him."

Andre Agassi:
He is like a boxer who constantly jabs. It totally wears an opponent down."

ATPTour.com breaks down Rafael Nadal’s 1000 wins
It was 18 seasons ago that Rafael Nadal sealed his first victory on the ATP Tour. Back then, at 15 years of age, he had just begun building a legacy that today makes him one of the only four players in the Open Era to become a ‘millennial’. The Spaniard, alongside Jimmy Connors, Roger Federer and Ivan Lendl, is now one of the few players to have produced 1,000 wins in his career.

This ATPTour.com analysis offers a breakdown of the legendary achievement: when, where and against whom the Balearic Islander produced every hundred triumphs, as well as how many matches it took him to do it.

From 29 April 2002 to 20 July 2005, Nadal needed 137 matches spread over three years and three months to pick up his first 100 victories on the ATP Tour. It was during this first venture on tour, when he was still a teenager, that he reached several milestones; his first victory in Mallorca 2002 (v. Ramón Delgado), his first win over a Top 10 player at the 2003 ATP Masters 1000 in Monte Carlo (vs. No. 7 Albert Costa), his first win at a Grand Slam at Wimbledon 2003 (vs. Mario Ancic), his first win over a No. 1 in the 2004 ATP Masters 1000 in Miami (vs. Roger Federer), and his first ATP Tour title in 2004 in Sopot, as well as his first trophies in an ATP Masters 1000 in Monte Carlo 2005 and in a Grand Slam, at the 2005 French Open.

101-200

The first time he had to prove himself on tour. Once he had surprised the world with a spectacular 2005, he had to start to defend all of his incredible, precocious feats. And he did just that. Nadal won his first hard-court trophy at the ATP Masters 1000 in Canada, lifted what is still to this day the only title on indoor hard court in his cabinet at the ATP Masters 1000 in Madrid and claimed the title twice at the same tournament for the first time at the ATP Masters 1000 in Monte Carlo. During this time, he increased his success rate in matches played to 84.7% (100/118).

Nadal consolidated himself as a strong candidate for taking the No. 1 spot in the FedEx ATP Rankings from Roger Federer. The Spaniard was closing in on Federer in the battle for the top, and winning in Monte Carlo and Barcelona and at Roland Garros was by now a tradition. He reached four titles at each of these venues. At Wimbledon it started to become common to see him in the latter stages of the tournament as his success grew on all surfaces, taking two five-set matches on the London grass against Robin Soderling and Mikhail Youzhny. In total he won 80.4% of the matches played until that point. Against Ivo Karlovic in the quarter-finals at Queen’s, he claimed his 300th win.

During this period Nadal reached No. 1 in the world for the first time in his career. His assault on the peak came as he opened his account on grass, after winning at Queen’s and two weeks later starring in one of the best matches of all time in the 2008 Wimbledon final against Roger Federer to claim his first cup on the lawns of SW19. Shortly afterwards, at the Cincinnati ATP Masters 1000, he amassed enough points to topple the Swiss from the top spot having chased him for three years. At the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, he put the icing on the cake with a gold medal. His 400th win came in December 2009 against Tomas Berdych in the Davis Cup Final.

In the three previous stages Nadal needed 118 matches to reach a century of wins, but during this period from December 2009 to April 2011, he reduced this number to 114. In other words, Nadal increased his win percentage to 87.7%, figures that would lead him to string together Roland Garros, Wimbledon and US Open titles in the same year (2010), making him the seventh man in history to win each of the four Grand Slam titles. His 500th win came in the semi-finals in Barcelona 2011 against Ivan Dodig.

At Roland Garros he would break Bjorn Borg’s record of six titles with another Musketeers Trophy in 2012, beating Novak Djokovic on three consecutive occasions (Monte Carlo, Rome and Paris), after seven straight defeats against the Serb. From then on he endured one of his most difficult periods, due to an injury that forced him out of the game for the second half of 2012, but this was not enough to prevent him from producing yet more outstanding stats. On his return in February 2013 he strung together four finals on the trot, with a 17-1 record and put the cherry on the cake with the trophy at the Indian Wells ATP Masters 1000. He sealed his 600th professional win against Juan Martín del Potro in the final.

601-700

Nadal’s most dominant spell. To earn 100 more victories, he would only need 113 matches, increasing his success rate to 88.4% from April 2013 to June 2014. He claimed three more Grand Slams, extending his dominance of Roland Garros with nine Musketeers Trophies. In the 2013 semi-final, he would come out on top of an epic battle against Djokovic that would end 9-7 in the fifth set after four hours and 37 minutes. However, one of his most memorable performances would have to wait until the US swing, where he did not lose a single match in Canada, Cincinnati or at the US Open (17-0). His 700th victory came in the first round of Wimbledon 2014 against Martin Klizan.

701-800

June 2014 until August 2016 proved to be the least prolific spell of his career. In a little under two years he ‘only’ claimed five ATP Tour titles, enduring a two-season drought in the Grand Slams (2015-16). It was also the period in which he needed the most matches (132) to reach 100 wins, since his early years on tour when he had to play five more times to make a century (137). During this period, Nadal was plagued by fitness problems and only through his ability to fight against adversity was he able to hang on to a place in the Top 10. His 800th win came at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in the quarter-finals against Thomaz Bellucci, earning himself a chance of claiming a medal, something he failed to do.

801-900

Nadal completed a spectacular recovery that enabled him to reclaim the World No. 1 spot several more times. At the 2017 Australian Open he confirmed that he was back to his best, reaching his first Grand Slam final since 2014. From then he restamped his authority on clay with a 24-1 record in 2017, allowing him to claim his 10th crowns at the ATP Masters 1000 in Monte Carlo, Barcelona and at Roland Garros. He also, once again, made it two Grand Slams in a season by winning the US Open, something that hadn’t happened since 2013. He picked up victory No. 900 against Richard Gasquet in the third round of 2018 Roland Garros. His career win percentage was at 82.7%.

5 memorable wins from 801-900
814 – Australian Open 2017 – vs Grigor Dimitrov – First Slam final since 2014

901-1,000

In the latest step of his career Nadal again needed 113 matches (as he did in 2013-14) to reach a century of wins, but if one thing set this period apart from the rest, above all it is quality. Nadal only played in higher-category tournaments and the wins almost all came in ATP Masters 1000 and Grand Slams. So much so that between May 2018 and November 2020 he picked up eight titles: Four Grand Slams, three ATP Masters 1000 and an ATP 500. In the last edition of Roland Garros, he stretched his record for the most titles won at one event to 13, as well as equalling Roger Federer on the most Grand Slams won (20) to date.
