22-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal had his wife, Maria Francisca Perello, and their baby son by his side, cheering him on throughout the Nordea Open, including the final.
In his first final since May 2022, Rafa put up a valiant effort but was ultimately defeated by Nuno Borges.
The mother and son pair remained in high spirits, filling social media with delightful content featuring little Rafa Junior.

So funny when he recognized his papa’s voice…
Rafa Jr is a spitting image of Rafa Sr.
Wonder what his nickname is.
Onward and upward, Rafa in your trajectory towards the Olympics!
Actually he looks more as mom Mery. But Rafa Jr has the same ears as Rafa.
