50 consecutive set win streak on clay
This is the longest single-surface and clay-court set win streak in the Open Era. Nadal broke John McEnroe 's Open Era record of 49 consecutive sets won in 1984 (on carpet) with his 50th set win against Diego Schwartzman . He lost the next day in the quarterfinals to Dominic Thiem .[ 32] Nadal also broke a 15-year-old record of Guillermo Coria achieved in 2003, where he won 35 consecutive sets on clay. This is followed by Ilie Năstase 's 34 consecutive clay sets won in 1973. Nadal has also logged streaks of 32, 31, and two streaks of 30 consecutive clay sets won.[ 33]
Breakdown: 6–0 (6), 6–1 (12), 6–2 (10), 6–3 (10), 6–4 (10), 7–5 (1), RET (1).

25 consecutive wins in Grand Slam matches
From 2010 to 2011 Nadal went 25–0 wins in Grand Slam. He was the first man to win at least 21 consecutive Grand Slam matches in a single calendar year since Rod Laver in 1969. The streak was ended by compatriot David Ferrer in the 2011 Australian Open . Prior to 2010, Roger Federer achieved two streaks of three consecutive Grand Slam titles (winning at least 21 matches) but never within the same calendar year, as Federer's streaks always ended at the French Open to Nadal in the middle of the calendar year.

Career Grand Slam tournament seedings
The tournaments won by Nadal are in boldface.
Nadal has been seeded 1st in 15 Grand Slam tournaments, with 4 of those being consecutive.
He had been seeded 1st or 2nd for 13 consecutive grand slams.
He was seeded 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th in 29 consecutive tournaments in which he played, this streak ran from his first grand slam title, the 2005 French Open, to his when he won his 12th grand slam title, the 2013 French Open, a span of 8 consecutive years. It would have stretched further except that after he won the 2013 French Open title, he dropped from No. 4 to No. 5 in the world.[ 37]
In the first 20 of his 22 grand slam titles, he was seeded 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th (in the 21st, 2022 Australian Open, he was 6th, while in the 22nd, 2022 French Open, he was 5th).
Of his 8 runner-up finishes, he was seeded either 1st and 2nd in 7 of them; the only one in which he wasn't a top-2 seed was the 2017 Australian Open , where he was seeded 9th.
(DNP) Prior 2009 Wimbledon Championships Nadal seeded 1st, but withdrew from the tournament due to knee tendinitis .[ 38]
