“Another Nadal?” Andy Roddick’s ecstatic reaction to reports of Rafael Nadal becoming a father will make your day
Rafael Nadal, his wife and Andy Roddick
Rafael Nadal has won the French Open for the 14th time, adding to his record collection. Many people didn’t even consider him on their favourite list. The Spaniard, however, has defied all odds and set a new record. To add to the amazement, the winner’s victory occurred exactly two days after his 36th birthday, making him the oldest clay-court champion ever.
But that wasn’t the only good news that came his way. A few weeks after his triumph at Roland Garros, it has been reported that Rafael Nadal and Xisca Perello are expecting their first child together. Perello displayed her new pregnancy silhouette in a swimsuit after being spotted wearing a comfy dress at the Paris final, according to the magazine Hola!
The announcement quickly gained traction, with fans and tennis professionals such as Chris Evert congratulating the couple. Andy Roddick is another former player who has expressed his admiration for Nadal.
“Makes tennis seem so small”- Andy Roddick congratulates Rafael Nadal
Former World No. 1 Andy Roddick complimented Nadal and his entire family on the Tennis Channel broadcast. According to the American, such an event is far more important than tennis. “Tennis is a big part of life. But I remember the first time that we found out we were pregnant. It makes tennis seem so small. So congrats to Rafa, Maria, and the rest of their extended family. We all know how close that family is,” Roddick said.
