Rafa-interest in the Open may have plummeted since your departure, but you and Rafa
Junior are gathering momentum🥰are you chuckling over Alize Cornet who confesses
she dreamt of you “all night long”?😂she was very charming…..
Rafa‘s greatest achievement! ❤️❤️
🙌❤️
Now, we will have to get used to Nadal lifting his son, instead of lifting trophies.
Well-said, Lorna!
Father and son. The perfect medicine for a disappointment. Some things are just more important than tennis ❤️
Love it, super cute!😍
