Rafa Nadal is set to hold a press conference in Mallorca on Friday (local time) to reportedly give an update on his plans for Wimbledon and address reports his wife is pregnant.
Bombshell reports emerged on Wednesday that Nadal’s wife Xisca Perello is expecting their first child, increasing speculation that the 22-time grand slam champion is nearing retirement.
Spanish magazine Hola reported on Wednesday that Nadal and Xisca are expecting their first child together.
Perello was reportedly seen wearing loose-fitting clothing with her husband at the Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid, as well as during the final rounds of Nadal’s triumph at the French Open.
She was also reportedly seen with a noticeable baby bump as she holidayed with Nadal on their yacht in Mallorca this week.
On Thursday it emerged that Nadal will address the media on Friday in a telling move amid the swirling reports.
American tennis writer Christopher Clarey tweeted: “Nadal giving a press conference on Friday in Spain, I imagine to clarify his plans on Wimbledon.
“Already practicing on grass and certainly looks promising that he will be there but let’s wait and hear what he has to say after his radio frequency ablation and training.”
