Barcelona Open: Will Rafael Nadal’s Wife Maria Attend Husband’s Last Dance on the Catalonian Clay?

The tennis community will finally get to witness Rafael Nadal at the upcoming Barcelona Open after his participation in the season’s first tournament. Now that he is in the twilight of his competitive journey, the Spaniard recently opened up about how he is treating his campaign on the Catalonian clay as his farewell appearance at the event. As he prepares for his final dance in the Torneo Conde de Godó, the big question now arises: Will Nadal’s wife accompany the Spaniard during his run in Barcelona?

Maria Francisca Perello, Nadal’s wife, has often been sighted in the 22-time singles Grand Slam champion’s player’s box during his matches on the tour. Even during his farewell campaign at the Barcelona Open, the ‘King of the Clay’ will enjoy the company of his wife, who was recently seen accompanying the Spaniard during his participation. Not just his wife, but Nadal’s son will be there in Barcelona as well. The little was also seen enjoying some playful moments with his dad’s tennis racket.

A Twitter user recently brought to light some glimpses of the ATP player enjoying the company of his wife and son. “Rafael Junior’s racket is getting bigger 🥹(Rafa’s match vs Cobolli is now confirmed to be on Tuesday, as he does not appear on Monday’s Order of Play) 🤞💪,” the tweet read.

As he arrived on the Catalonian clay, Nadal also sharpened his racket skills on the court, while Perello and Rafa Junior watched on during a practice session.

Not just his matches, but it looks like the Spanish tennis player’s family is also quite excited to witness his practice sessions ahead of the highly anticipated match. As he was involved in a rigorous session on the court alongside his colleague Sebastian Baez, Nadal’s wife Maria Francisca Perello, and their son, Rafa Junior, watched the ‘King of the Clay’ from the stands.

With the support of his loved ones, Nadal will now start his farewell campaign at the event. The 12-time champion will be squaring off against the unseeded Italian Flavio Cobolli in the opening round match. And perhaps the presence of the closest people in his life will push him toward glory once more.
