There were reports that the baby may arrive a little early because of some issues. 37 weeks is fine though.
MailOnline refers to Diario de Mallorca as the source of information, but MailOnline changed the story! o_O

MailOnine: “The birth took place in a private clinic on the island where Mery had to remain under observation and rest completely in the last few weeks.”

Diario de Mallorca: “Mery Perelló has been under medical surveillance for the last few weeks and, finally, this Saturday she gave birth in a private clinic in Palma. Nadal's wife entered this center yesterday and the birth took place this Saturday afternoon.” (Translated from Spanish via Google)

Whatever the truth of media reports, I’m just glad their little boy has arrived safely

a couple met Rafa and Mery on their way to the delivery room:)

Imagine having given birth a few days ago, having your turn to get tested before you can go home with your baby and finding yourself face to face with Rafa Nadal himself and his wife on the way to the delivery room. This is the anecdote that Andreu and Mari Àngels will tell to little Pau when he is older, who this Saturday excitedly narrated to the press how they had met the couple in one of the most intimate and exciting moments a couple can experience.


“My little boy was born on Thursday. So I already knew that I could go home shortly. This morning, around 9:30, they were taking me to do a test and, suddenly, in the middle of the corridor, I ran into a couple, accompanied by a caretaker, who were on their way to the delivery room . I was going to wish them good luck, but at that moment I realized that it was Rafa Nadal and his wife. Look, I couldn't believe it. Rafa greeted us very kindly, with a good day », narrated Mari Àngels, after leaving the hospital.

Very happy and honored to be able to practice hard with my idol for 3 hours today. I will continue to work hard. I hope that one day, we can meet on

he did post a cryptic message... esta semana? and a wink probably announcing the Junior was arriving this week.

I agree he owes us a post now... he's trolling us with his silence:laughing:

it's great that we've got some smiley pics of his from fans at RNA... showing all's well
If he knew when the baby would be born, Mery was either induced or had an elective C section. The fact that he has been seen practising and is all smiles is a good sign but I can’t help but want to hear him say all is well lol.

I've come to the conclusion that when Rafa says he wants his private life private he means it. Other players don't announce when they've had a baby so maybe we shouldn't expect Rafa to but he is not any other player. However, just an IG message would have been nice knowing his fans would love to hear it from him. But it is what it is. He is mindful that Mery doesn't want too much exposure, she just wants a quiet life. Once you start buying into the celebrity culture, your life is not your own.

It is easy to feel "betrayed" as a fan, but he doesn't owe us anything, he's earned our support and we (at least myself) give it freely.

Being famous must be a nightmare.

I watched Alexandra Burke on Loose Women the other day and she was overcome with tears talking about how her fame has intruded into the lives of her family who didn't ask for it. She is very sad about that to the extent that she is keeping the sex and name of her new born baby private to allow it to grow up without the exposure that some like the Beckhams crave.

Rafa Nadal Academy in Manacor
Rafa Nadal Sports Centre in Manacor

The academy is part of the sports centre

For a second year in a row, Rafa's sports centre/academy will host a tournament of the Solidarity Padel Circuit of the Real Madrid Foundation. It will take place this weekend.

The 3rd edition of the Solidarity Padel Circuit consists of eight tournaments held across Spain from June – October 2022. The tournament taking place at Rafa's sports centre from 14-16 October is the last tournament of the 3rd edition of the circuit.

The profits from the 3rd Solidarity Padel Circuit will go to the Real Madrid Foundation’s social projects.

Rafa’s sports centre uses 15 indoor and outdoor padel courts, part of which are rented from other organizations.

Rafa is an ardent Real Madrid supporter and an honorary member of the football club.

The tweet contains a video from the last year's tournament:


(y) to Rafa's sports centre!
