Rafael Nadal, wife Maria Farancisca Perello and their baby son Rafa Junior were spotted heading out on a Sydney Harbour cruise with the protective dad holding on tightly to the newborn.
The father and son dressed in co-ordinated navy and white outfits. A proud Rafa showed off the baby to friends before jumping on-board, Herald Sun reported.
Rafa was in Sydney for the United Cup ahead of the Australian Open, with his newborn son making a quiet courtside debut at Sydney Olympic Park last Thursday.



Lovely photos. Baby Rafa definitely resembles his dad.
Amen
It’s very clear Nadal is not winning this AO 2023. The primary focus is most likely not tennis.
Baby Rafa looks for me…like Tony Nadal…resembling Rafa uncle. Of course looks like Rafa too
Don’t think Rafa will go too far in AO
He should focus on clay season
Such precious moments to share with us, beautiful baby Rafael x
So lovely photos❤️
Bless.
Rafa is sharing his baby with the world…you can just see him beaming with pride! I’m sure he must have lots of security because Rafa is mobbed where ever he goes! What a cutie baby Rafael is!
Very sweet 🥰
Though I’m thrilled to finally see that sweet baby’s adorable face, I wish the press would give him is privacy. Ah well… fame has its price! Can’t wait for AO 2023!
