Junior of Rafael is mentioned here. - Rafael Nadal desires to conceal his renown from his child.
Rafael Nadal, a renowned tennis player with 22 Grand Slams under his name, was recently seen with his son Rafael junior at a tournament in Madrid. Nadal shared his thoughts about his son and the possibility of his little one watching his match against Alexander Zverev at the French Open.
Before the upcoming match, Nadal stated, "He doesn't understand what's going on yet. I don't know if he'll watch." Though Xisca Perello, Rafael's wife, has joined them in the box a few times along with the young child, it's not too common an occurrence. Whether Rafael junior will cheer for his dad during the match is uncertain.
At some point, their son will comprehend who his father is and what he has accomplished in the world of sports. However, Nadal plans to keep his accomplishments from his son, ensuring he grows up as a typical child. "I don't plan to tell him what I've done later. At home and with friends, I hardly talk about tennis and me," he said.
Although his son might not lack anything material-wise, it's likely that he'll gain a lot of attention owing to his father's worldwide acclaim. Nadal seems to have an understanding of this predicament: "He will see me as a father who is famous all over the world. Let's see how he takes that."
Being from a peaceful village in Mallorca, Nadal prefers to keep his private life private and away from public scrutiny.
Monday's match brings Nadal's career to a possible end at the French Open. Though currently in 275th place in world rankings, Zverev, the number 4 player worldwide, is the favorite to win against the aging icon. Nadal has not won a tournament since 2022.
Who knows if the son will ever witness his father beaming with a trophy again?
