  1. Djoko says med sent him a text exact 45 mns after the final match..that’s wierd ..didn’t he have press to do n ofcourse the ice bath n recovery etc..

    I wonder what he texted Djokovic. Sorry i could not stop him at 20 haha ..if he texted him after the match, does it not mean he spoke to Novak before too for strategy to best Rafa

    • Thanks for the link, Nadline! Gill Gross is my favorite YouTube analyst. I don’t even have a second fave. He’s totally impartial. Says David Ferrer was his favorite player but he no longer has faves, just concentrates on analysis.

  2. His limping worries me lot…I hope he doesn’t call out his career in RG.. I want him to stay healthy and play until 2024 olympics

  3. Happy 36th Birthday to Rafa! I wish you all the best and successes in all your endeavours; may all your dreams come true and may you win the best Birthday present today and also on this coming Sunday! God Bless you! Vamos Rafa!

    • Yes!! I was looking for that news on here!!! I heard so too!! Oh my that’s just great!! It’s like we’ve been waiting like forever!! LOL!! Wonderful news for them!!! Can’t wait for baby to be born, teehee!!

      Wishing Xisca a wonderful pregnancy, and a healthy and happy baby!! Vamos!!

      • Yes, we have. When Rafa said they would wait until he retired before starting a family I kept thinking he couldn’t go on playing for too long. Now he can do both.

        Soooooooo happy for them. Congratulations to the couple.

  4. Rafa Nadal, after being congratulated on his future fatherhood: “Thank you”
    A group of fans awaited the tennis player after his training session at the Mallorca Country Club in Santa Ponça
    Rafa Nadal has reappeared this Wednesday after a well-known gossip magazine confirmed that he is expecting a child with his wife , Xisca PerellĂł . The tennis player went to the Mallorca Country Club in Santa Ponça first thing in the morning to train and, when he left, a group of followers were waiting for him who congratulated him on his future fatherhood. A French couple and his son, who are on vacation on the island, have been the first to congratulate the athlete, who has timidly replied “thank you”. The Majorcan has attended all his fans and has not hesitated to pose with them and give them autographs.

  5. Congrats to the happy parents-to-be! I hope it’s true, but Hola! isn’t the most trustworthy news source. They commented on Meri holding the trophy in front of her to “conceal her abdomen”. Seriously? Where exactly did they expect her to hold it? In front of her face maybe?

  6. Congrats to Rafa and Mary.

    So is this the last year .rafa has always said that he will not play a full tour once he has his family. Me thinks this may be last year or max maybe next year. Nothing will be perfect than winning wimby to close it. Thank God he won 22 this year ..

    • Rafa has talked about playing the OG in 2024 in Paris. First time Olympic tennis will be played on clay as far as I know.

  7. Sanju, rafa will not retire this year or next, so stop worrying about that. Rafa said he plans to play the Olympics in 2024 because it will be on clay which is something he has always wanted for the Olympics. So that should tell you that atleast until afta 2024 he won’t retire provided that his foot and fitness holds up. Having a child will not make him retire regardless of what he said in the past, things have changed.

    Congrats Rafa on being a father with your lovely wife. This has turned out to be a wonderful year for Rafa!

  8. Supposedly Mary is 5 months pregnant and it’s a boy ( ladka hua hain for Indians. Rafa ka vansh aage badane 🙂 hehe )

  9. My sister texted me the news! Congratulations to Rafa and his wife! Great news! What a year for Rafa! But he did say he would retire before he had children.

  10. He has called for a press conference this friday?? If it is just for announcing baby news or on wimby decision, he wouldn’t call for a meet. I am nervous.

    • Says who raj? I don’t mean some Rafa fan with no source cited.
      Because no tennis journalist has mentioned it. I checked around 10 of the main ones. Surely they would?

      • There is a comment on nadalfans site. Check the second latest thread and the comment by Lorna. There was no source referenced.

        • I already saw that. With no source it’s very unreliable. It might be coming from that Not Rafa Nadal twitter. He claims on there there is a press conference with no source.
          As I said, I checked around 10 big tennis journalists and no one has referenced it which is pretty odd. Am sceptical right now. We have had false stories before.

          • So do we know if Rafa will have a press conference or not? It was posted on VB. They usually are reliable. We need to know for sure what is going on.

            I want to know if he will play at Wimbledon.

          • I just found a Spanish journalist saying there is a press conference! Sorry. Should have gone to Spanish journalists first.
            Stressful translating from Spanish.

          • So just to clarify. Yes there is a press conference on Friday. The journalist says Rafa is going to clarify regarding paternity and wimby then.

    • In the TVE News, they said after the presentation this morning when he was given the Balaeric Tribute Award in Palma, Rafa said he will make an official statement on Friday but his goal is to head for London on Monday.
