This is the match everyone has been hoping to see since the Roland-Garros draw. Dropped in the standings and only seeded number 6 this year, Rafael Nadal is in the same part of the table as Novak Djokovic this year and after several anthology finals, the two tennis legends find themselves at the quarter-final stage. A confrontation particularly awaited by lovers of the little yellow ball and which should still offer us a splendid spectacle. The Serb can participate normally in the Parisian tournament after his setbacks in Australia and the two players will try to win in a meeting that promises to be thrilling.
If all goes well on the pitch for Rafael Nadal, the 35-year-old is also a happy man in his private life. In a relationship since 2005 and married to Xisca Perello since 2019, the king of clay still has no children and obviously he is in no hurry to have one. “I thought I would have children when I retired but the question got longer”he explained last year in remarks reported by The Parisian. If he doesn’t really seem in a hurry to retire, and therefore to have children, the paternal fiber is very present. “It will probably happen in the future because we both want it”assures the tennis player.
I would love to have children: boys, girls… I am a person who loves children
Rafael Nadal prefers to wait until the end of his career to be able to devote himself entirely to the education of his future offspring. “I would love to have children: boys, girls… I am a person who loves children and I am a guy who is very family”he added in 2017 in the Argentine talk show Con amigos asi.
Everything in its time therefore for Rafael Nadal, who is waiting to be done with the tennis courts to think about starting a family.
