Rafael Nadal, the Spanish superstar, is days ahead of making his comeback to the tennis court after a year. Before the auspicious day, the Spaniard was seen practicing in the presence of his family.
Recently, his son was snapped along with his mom Maria during the practice session for Nadal against his long-time rival Andy Murray. The baby, nestled in his mother’s arms, was gazing over as his father was practicing on the court.
The bond between Rafa and his son has been seen through many snaps. This is not the first time the baby was spotted at his father’s practice; he also walked into the court holding a racket and Nadal’s hand in the other.
Before this, during one of the practice sessions, the 22-time Grand Slam title champion made funny faces at his son during a practice, expressing his sense of humor and love for his baby.
His family has been with him throughout the whole practice session and has now been present to witness Rafa’s comeback after a year. The Spaniard will make a comeback at the Brisbane International alongside the likes of talented players like Ben Shelton, Holger Rune, Andy Murray, and more.
