This Sunday, May 11 2014, is Mother’s Day in several parts of the world. Rafa is very close to his mum Ana Maria Parera (along with the rest of the family), and Ms. Parera is a fixture in Team Nadal, traveling the world in support of her son. Besides being one of his pillars, she is also the president of the Rafa Nadal Foundation.

Many things that make Rafa different from many who found fame – his humbleness, politeness, and respect for others – are because of his excellent rearing. So what gift do you give one of the best moms ever? Could the perfect gift for Rafa’s mum this Mothers Day be the Ion Tiriac trophy at the Mutua Madrid Open? We’ll see 😉
Thank you, Ms. Parera, for Rafa, and a very Happy Mother’s Day to you!
Vamos Rafa!
Happy Mother’s Day to Ana Maria! for sharing such a wonderful son all over the world who bring so much happiness and excitement to me when he’s on court and off court. Rafa is so special to me and I always say he’s my son who I never met or know but tennis is where I see him and know him. God bless you Ana and Rafa!
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY ANA MARIA!! AND HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO ALL THE MOTHERS OUT THERE WORDWIDE, I AM SURE RAFA MAKES YOU PROUD, AND HOPE HE WINS THE MADRID OPEN TODAY, TAKE CARE & LOVE YOU GUYS MUCH!!

Happy Mother’s Day, Ana Maria! Thank you for bringing up such a special young man to share with the world. Win or lose today, the love is the same – but here’s hoping he brings home a special trophy today.
I had the fortune to run across Bruce Springsteen’s mum at a concert, and gave her the same thanks for her part in raising a special human.
In Spain, Mother’s Day was celebrated last Sunday (May 4th).

I know but we wanted to wait to celebrate it today with other moms around the world, and also because it fell on the day of the final. 🙂
