Open made him just the second men's player to achieve the career Golden Slam — victories at all four majors, as well as Olympic gold.
The following year, Nadal led the Spanish Davis Cup team to victory for the fourth time, but he surrendered his No. He gained some revenge by defeating the Serbian star at Roland Garros the following spring to claim a record seventh French Open singles crown. However, Nadal followed with a surprising second-round loss to Czech player Lukas Rosol at Wimbledon, a match some commentators labeled as one of the biggest upsets in tennis history.
