Rafael Nadal, the 'King of Clay', leaves tennis court with a legacy of memories and 22 Grand Slam titles

Rafael Nadal, whose career ended on Tuesday when Spain were knocked out of the Davis Cup, was the "King of Clay" who also reigned on every other surface as he accumulated 22 Grand Slam titles while his even-keeled and humble demeanour, on and off the court, endeared him to rivals and legions of fans. Federer faced Nadal in 14 Grand Slam finals winning only four, the Swiss player ending his career with 20 majors, two fewer than the Spaniard.
