Happy News,
Rafa's wife Mery is 5 months pregnant with their second child, expecting their new baby this Summer.
The pregnancy has been significantly easier for Mery compared to her first, which was marked by complications that led to her being hospitalized just weeks before giving birth

Is that the cause of the hip injury? :lol6:

The tribute to Rafa will be held at Roland Garros on Sunday 25th May after the 3 day matches.
Amelie Mauresmo didnt elaborate on the nature of the ceremony though she did confirm the Nadal will become an Ambassador for the tournament.
There will also be an exhibition dedicated to Nadal running throughout the tournament at the Roland Garros Tenniseum

How 'Ironic" the tribute to Rafa at Roland Garros May 2025, it was the 25th May 2005 on Philippe Chatrier Rafa played his very first match, second round against Xavier Malisse

Rafa Nadal has received the "Laureus Sporting Icon Award for 2025', Rafa was given a standing ovation from the crowd!
Rafa is the 'Only Athlete' to complete the 'Laureus Slam"
( The only other sportsperson to ever win the Laureus Icon award is Valentino Rossi, back in 2022)
