Three titles on three different surfaces in a calendar year

[edit]

The first time this occurred for approved Major tournaments was in 1913 - Anthony Wilding: Wimbeldon, WHCC, WCCC (also meets the claimed 3 consecutive titles on 3 different surfaces [for Majors]). If this is interpreted as being for the four national championships then it was only effectively able to have been accomplished from there being three different surfaces e.g. 1978 (US Open adopting are courts) so it i non-Sensis like trying to accord a date of 1877 for this purpose. Same issue for the following '1877' record.

Remove "including prominent personalities like Tom Hiddleston, Olivia Colman and Hugh Laurie.[541][603]" from 'Personal life'. This is incorrectly referenced, the three people were not guests at the wedding, they filmed a TV program at the location. RedScamp (talk) 20:54, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wordiness in opening

[edit]

Could just be me, but I feel like the segment in header (i.e “After two injury-plagued seasons” to “Mark Lopez”) could maybe be moved or removed. Seems a bit narrative for the introduction, might be better suited to cut for clarity. Jkitch503 (talk) 05:34, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

in the Residences section, misspelling of word "story" to refer to the amount of floors in a building. Currently spelled "storey" Leon-xd-00 (talk) 21:04, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: BLP is in Europe, so the article uses Brtish English. Declining. ⸺(Random)staplers 22:49, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change "Representing Spain, he has won two Olympic gold medals, and led the nation to four Davis Cup titles." to "Representing Spain, he has won two Olympic gold medals, and led the nation to five Davis Cup titles." 199.250.3.38 (talk) 13:40, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agree it is too long/detailed

[edit]

I agree with the comment at the top that "This article may be too long to read and navigate comfortably". One of the problems is the sheer level of intricate detail in the "Career" section. Following the recent announcement of his imminent retirement, I wanted to remind myself a bit about the main points of his career, but this plodding, almost week-by-week detail quickly becomes unreadable. For people who want this level there are already "yyyy Rafael Nadal tennis season" articles, so this one can be drastically pruned, I would say. 2A00:23C8:7B0C:9A01:644B:FDA2:2E8F:1874 (talk) 22:25, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. I think editors are waiting till retirement to severely trim Nadal, Federer, and Djokovic articles. Fyunck(click) (talk) 22:29, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
