On Sunday 9th June, Rafael Nadal entered legendary status in the world of tennis! He is the first player ever to win 8 times the same Grand Slam tournament. 

2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 ! A 6-3, 6-2, 6-3 victory in Paris over his fellow countryman, David Ferrer, in the final of the French Open saw Nadal become the first man ever to win the same Grand Slam title eight times and increased his stunning record to 59 victories. Rafa’s 12th major title moves him above Bjorn Borg and his 11 career titles.

Richard Mille would like to congratulate Rafael Nadal for his energy and determination in returning on the international competition scene. This Roland Garros victory rewards Rafa for all doubts and suffering he endured during the 7 months he was off the court with a knee injury. Last February in Chile when he returned on the court, he showcased his physical fitness and stamina and proved to the world his talent, winning before Roland Garros some 6 titles in Sao Paolo, Acapulco, Indian wells, Barcelona, Madrid and Roma.

Richard Mille is proud of his friend Rafa in being an impressive competitor, great champion and totally integrated member of the RM family. Rafa wears an RM watch during all tournaments, testing its performance and shock resistance since 2010.
