They traveled to Melbourne two days ago and they did it, for the first time, with little Rafa. The eldest son of Nadal and Mery Perelló has debuted as his father’s number one fan, who was delighted: “I am grateful to have the opportunity to have them here with me in Australia. It helps a lot. At this stage of my career, imagine months away home as a parent would be a difficult situation. The baby will surely be the best consolation for Rafa at this difficult time: “It is one of the most beautiful things in life, without a doubt, so I am super happy,” he said a few hours ago at a press conference.
