JAKARTA - Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal has the potential to pass Roger Federer in 2023. Nadal can be the most-final tennis player in any of the four Grand Slams.

Currently Nadal and Federer are both listed as collecting 15 semifinals in a Grand Slam event. Nadal carved the note at Roland Garros while Federer made it at the Australian Open.

If Nadal reaches the semifinals again in Paris in June, he will automatically carve out the 16th semifinal in just one Grand Slam. Federer will no longer pursue him because he is retired.

Nadal reached the 15th end of Roland Garros last year when he struggled with a leg injury. He ended up winning his 14th title in the clay tournament after defeating Norwegianverin Norwewew rowdy Ruud in the final.

Rafa, Nadal's nickname, has been a dominant tennis player in Paris for nearly two decades. He won 112 of the 115 matches in Roland Garros, the dominant record that has never been done before in one Grand Slam.

Nadal made his debut at Roland Garros in 2005. At that time he came as a favorite young tennis player after winning Monte Carlo, Barcelona, and Roma.

The proof was then carried out by Nadal in the field by defeating Mariano Puerta in the final. His record as a young 19-year-old tennis player who won the Grand Slam was then equalized by Carlos Alcaraz at the US Open 2022.

In addition to being able to set a semifinal record, Nadal also has the potential to add to the Grand Slam title. Currently, he is the owner of 22 titles or the highest is Novak Djokovic (21) and Federer (20).

The most semifinals are in one Grand Slam:

15 Rafael Nadal (Roland Garros)

15 Roger Federer (Australia Open)

14 - Jimmy mulai (US Open)

13 Roger Federer (Wimbledon)

12 Novak Djokovic (US Open)
