Rafael Nadal is set to attend the 25th Laureus World Sports Awards in Madrid on Monday, marking yet another milestone in a career filled with historic moments, both on and off the court.
Hosted in his beloved home country, this year’s ceremony isn’t just a celebration of global sporting excellence. It’s a chance to honour Rafa’s extraordinary legacy. After officially retiring in 2024, our champ continues to inspire, not with forehands and footspeed, but through the sheer weight of what he’s already achieved.

A Champion Like No Other: The Laureus Slam
Rafa is the only athlete in history to complete the “Laureus Slam”, having received:
- Breakthrough of the Year
- Comeback of the Year
- Sportsman of the Year
- Laureus Sport for Good Award
This rare feat reflects Rafa’s journey from teenage prodigy to a universally admired symbol of resilience, humility, and passion.
From Court to Legacy: Rafa’s Story Continues
As Laureus celebrates its 25th anniversary, Rafa’s presence serves as a reminder of everything we’ve witnessed together—the 22 Grand Slam titles, the 14 Roland Garros triumphs, the Olympic glory, and those unforgettable 81-match streaks on clay. But more than the numbers, it’s Rafa’s spirit that continues to win hearts worldwide.
While he may have stepped away from professional tennis, Rafa’s story is far from over. Whether it’s mentoring young talent, supporting social causes, or simply being there when it matters most—he remains our champion, always.
