Rafa Nadal will aim to make history as the first player in the Open Era to win the same Grand Slam 10 times on Sunday when he plays Stan Wawrinka in the final. 

Since his first triumph on the Paris clay in 2005, Nadal has cemented his place as the greatest clay court player of all time with nine titles at Roland Garros and 52 clay titles in total, outstripping the previous record of 49 held by Guillermo Vilas.
