French Open: Will Rafael Nadal’s Family Attend His Potential Roland Garros Farewell?

Not only Rafael Nadal, his family is also dreaming of French Open glory! But the question is:  are they coming to what might possibly be his match? Well, the answer is Yes! After struggling with hip injuries for almost a year, Nadal is finally returning to his comfort place on-court, the French Open, where he has won 14 titles! And to celebrate his possible last dance at Roland Garros, Nadal’s family is all there to support and cheer for him. A recent peek at his sister’s Instagram story further emphasized the same.

Rafael Nadal’s sister, Maria Isabel, recently took to her Instagram and revealed a glimpse of her outing in Paris before Nadal’s match at Roland Garros. Along with her, there was Nadal’s mother, Ana Maria Parera, as well. Together, they clicked a picture, posing on a staircase and smiling at the camera. 

Not only that, but the next Instagram story also provided a sneak peek of a restaurant in Paris where they were having the delicacies of France with the caption “🤤🤤”. Therefore, obviously, the seats of Nadal’s sister and mother are booked at Roland Garros. But what about the rest of Rafael Nadal’s family? Well, it seems, they will also be here!

Rafael Nadal, who was initially hesitant to bring his little kid, Rafa Jr. to his matches, has now changed his perspective. “Well, I would love to play a little bit longer and give him a memory of myself playing tennis,” Nadal explained. Although he further confessed that it might not be the case considering his looming retirement, since January, the tennis world has indeed seen a change. 

Along with his wife, Maria Francisca Perello, their kid is also present in the tournaments (Brisbane, Barcelona, Madrid, and Italian Open) that Nadal has played this season. Roland Garros is no exception to that! Both have come to enjoy Nadal’s possibly last French Open tournament this year. 

However, there is one more person who is ready to watch the 22-grand-slam champion’s performance in Roland Garros. And what stole fans’ hearts even more was a special video that surfaced online regarding it.

Rafael Nadal’s father, Sebastian, shares a special moment with Nadal’s statue at Roland Garros 

Rafael Nadal’s father, Sebastian Nadal, who has played a huge role in shaping his career by coaching Nadal in his initial days, is also here in Paris! And as soon as he reached Roland Garros, fans captured a moment where Nadal’s father was clicking photos of the Spaniard’s statue. The 37-year-old player has already made history on May 27th, 2021, when he unveiled his statue at Roland Garros, a place where he has earned 14 titles.

Now, what makes it even more special is when his proud father comes near the 3-meter-tall steel statue, silently observing the fruits of his son’s hard work in tennis. Therefore, one thing is clear. Armed with the love and support of his wife, mother, sister, son, and father, Rafael Nadal is all set to leave a mark in the tennis world once again!
