Tennis Fans rejoice as Rafael Nadal release his wife’s…
Tennis fans have been treated to their first proper look at Xisca Perello’s baby bump after husband Rafa Nadal confirmed last month that they’re expecting their first child.
Rumours had been swirling in the lead-up to Wimbledon that Perello was pregnant, and Nadal confirmed the wonderful news in a pre-tournament press conference.
“If verything goes well, I’m going to be a father,” he said.
“I’m not used to talking about my private life. We live more peacefully with a lower profile. I don’t expect that my life will change much with it.”
Over the weekend, Nadal and Perello attended a concert for Colombian singer Sebastian Yatra in his home town of Mallorca.
The singer posted a photo on his Instagram story after a behind-the-scenes catch-up with Nadal and some of his family, with one photo clearly showing Perello’s baby bump.

Speaking after his historic French Open triumph earlier this year, Nadal once again hinted that he might soon retire.
The 36-year-old was forced to take a number of pain-killing injections in his troublesome foot in order to play.
“It’s obvious that with circumstances that I am playing, I can’t and I don’t want to keep going, so the mindset is very clear,” he said about playing with injuries.

“I’m going to keep working to try to find a solution and an improvement for what’s happening in the foot.
“It’s going to be…trying to burn a little bit the nerve and create the impact that I have now on the nerve for a long period of time.
“That’s what we are going to try. If that works, I’m going to keep going. If that does not work, then it’s going to be another story.
“And then I am going to ask myself if I am ready to do a major thing without being sure that things are going the proper way, for example.
