Rafael Nadal's 2023 season might be the first season in almost 20 years of his professional career that he won't win an Atp-level trophy.
Rafael Nadal's career is worthy of a film, that's how iconic and legendary it has been. The undisputed king of clay, one of the best players in tennis history proved himself as a great talent pretty early in his career. He was 18 when he won his maiden trophy at the Prokom Open in Sopot, Poland.
The older fans will remember that final as he defeated former top 20 player Jose Acasuso in the final. It began an incredible run for him as he would win an Atp trophy every year for the next two decades. Technically his first Atp trophy came a year earlier.
As a 16-year old Nadal got his first trophy with the Atp logo when he won the Barletta Challenger in 2003 beating Albert Portas in the final.
