Nadal was sneaky enough to hide his son's image as he exited the car and entered the practice court.

As Nadal is currently in Australia for the 2023 Australian Open, he was seen on 'Daddy duties' as he was seen with baby Rafael.

With the Australia in its summer, Nadal had his son in cap to cover him from heat as the family was spotted on a day out in Melbourne.
