Rafael Nadal of Spain is the 'King of Clay', as he has scripted numerous records on the surface. Winning record 13 French Open titles, it is a feat only a great legend like him could achieve, as it looks unbreakable in the near future.

However, besides his records on clay, he has recently scripted another all-time record. The feat is unique and looks unbreakable again, anytime soon.

Nadal is currently ranked number two in men's singles. Consequently, he has achieved the feat of staying among the top-10 for a record 788 weeks. He has gone past Jimmy Connors's previous record of 787.

Among the current players, Switzerland's Roger Federer is on the third spot, with 734 weeks. However, with him being at the end of his career, he might not be able to topple him anytime soon.

Reigning world number one Novak Djokovic of Serbia is in the sixth spot, with 555 weeks. Having lost his place in the top-10 during 2017, when he was seen struggling, the Serbian might not be able to get it done by the time he hangs up his boots as well.

Nadal is currently a 20-time Grand Slam winner, as he shares the all-time record with Federer. He would be eying to break the same, come next year.

Meanwhile, Nadal is currently looking to end the year as world number one. However, with Djokovic already having collected enough points for the year, it might not be possible, as a win more in the ongoing Vienna Open would seal the deal for the Serbian.
