Which Grand Slam tournament did Rafael Nadal win a record 14 men's singles titles?

The story behind the answer

Rafael Nadal won a record 14 men's singles titles at the French Open.

The tournament, also known as Roland-Garros, is played on outdoor red clay in Paris. Nadal won his first title there in 2005, aged 19, and captured his 14th in 2022. His victories came in 2005–08, 2010–14, 2017–20 and 2022, making him the most successful singles champion in the event's history.

Nadal's clay-court style made the French Open his defining tournament. His heavy topspin, exceptional movement and stamina were especially effective on the slower surface. He lost only four matches at Roland-Garros across his career and went 14–0 in French Open finals.

The number 14 is sometimes confused with Nadal's total of 22 men's Grand Slam singles titles. The larger figure includes two Australian Open titles, two Wimbledon titles and four US Open titles. The question's record refers specifically to one tournament, not his complete major-championship total.
