After undergoing radiofrequency ablation treatment on nerves in his left foot, Rafael Nadal is back on the grass courts, training for Wimbledon. He’s also training to be a father.
According to Hola, Nadal and his wife, María Francisca Perelló, are expecting their first child.
Rumors have swirled ever since Xisca surfaced in loose-fitting garments in Paris.
According to Hola, pictures of Perelló in a bathing suit, aboard Nadal’s yacht, were enough to wrap up the case. She’s pregnant.
“The exclusive pictures leave no room for doubt,” Hola writes. “Mery reveals her new maternity silhouette in a swimsuit.”
In recent days, Nadal has hopped off the boat and onto the grass courts at Mallorca, where he is testing out his left foot in the hopes that he will be good to go at Wimbledon, which begins on June 27. According to reports, Nadal is targeting this weekend as the right time to make a decision on his participation.
The 22-time major champion has won the first two majors of the tennis season for the first time in his career, and surely would like to continue his momentum at Wimbledon, where he is a two-time champion.
“I'm going to be in Wimbledon if my body is ready to be in Wimbledon,” Nadal said after winning the Roland-Garros title on June 5. "Wimbledon is not a tournament that I want to miss. I think nobody want to miss Wimbledon. I love Wimbledon.
“Let's see how the treatment works. I don't know.”
