At age 24, World No. 1 Rafael Nadal becomes the seventh member of the Career Grand Slam Club by winning the US Open the other night.

He has nine majors to his name, seven fewer than Roger Federer's record of 16.
At next year's Australian Open, Nadal will attempt to win his fourth consecutive Grand Slam title (a.k.a. the "Rafa Slam")
