    Rafael Nadal Education and Early Career

  • During the age of 4, his uncle Tony Nadal gifted him a racket that was fitted for his frail body and had his favorite colors. Attracted by the gift, Rafael gradually accorded more attention to Tennis. Nadal began winning the Tennis championship at the age of 8. Nadal's family refuse to attend a ceremony organized by the Spanish Federation to move to Barcelona to continue his training. Following his refusal, his father sponsored his expenses as a result of reduced sponsorship from the Federation. 
  • Uncle Tony drafted an intensive but fun program that would see him develop the body of an athlete. However, Nadal's grades in school were not any better. Between his tennis and soccer commitments, Rafa had little time to complete his schoolwork. His father asked him to make a choice. With all apologies to Uncle Miguel, Rafa went with tennis.  
  • Rafael Nadal's Relationship Status


  • Rafael Nadal is married to his long-time girlfriend Xisca Perello. Before marriage, they had a strong romantic relationship for 14 years. In the year 2005, Rafael was only 19 years old. His then-girlfriend used to study in the same school as he did. They went to school together and grew up in the same hometown of Mallorca. He kept his relationship news very secret until 2007. 
  • “My nephew always maintained he was single,” Rafael’s coach and uncle Toni Nadal reportedly told The Daily Mail, then-called Mail on Sunday. “It was a well-kept secret but actually his girlfriend is waiting for him in Majorca.” 
  • Rafael Nadal tied his knot in front of 350 guests at the La Fortaleza castle in Majorca, the island of his birth.
  • Nadal’s Wife Xisca Perello

  • Maria Francisca Perelló, in short, Xisca Perello, was born in the same town Manacor in Spain as Nadal in 1988. The name of his parents is Bernat Perelló and María Pascual. She graduated with an advanced degree in business from the University of the Balearic Islands. Everywhere, this couple travels together. His wife says even if I could, would not be good either for him or for me. 
  • Maria Francisca Perelló remembers a moment when they were in Paris together and Rafael had to go to a dinner hosted by one of his sponsors. “He asked me if I wanted to go, but I chose not to,” she says. “I stayed lonely in our hotel. When he got back he said, ‘Thank God for you didn’t come’. The place had been swarming with photographers.

  • Rafael Nadal Kid

  • In an interview, Nada said about his children, “I would love to have children: boys, girls… I’m a person who loves kids and I’m a family guy. But also I tell you that the reality is, the years keep passing, I would like to start to do all of this when my sporting life determines it.” The couple does not have any children so far.
