All cameras were on the little one after every point his dad won in extraordinary fashion. During one of these moments, he was captured raising his finger, along with his mother, Xisca Perello, as they seem to indicate that Rafa Jr. is Rafa Sr.’s No. 1 fan.

Little Rafa’s off-court moments have been captured by fans, and they too went viral, eliciting a plethora of reactions online. He was seen playing football with an ever-gentle Jannik Sinner during a fitness session the Italian was having on the lawns outside the courts of Indian Wells.

More recently, he was seen watching Rafa Sr. practice in Madrid and taking all his attention before the on-court session. Baby Rafa, who bears a striking resemblance to his dad, is also always seen holding his little racket in his hands, leaving fans gushing over his cuteness.

Nadal hopes his son has memories of him playing tennis professionally

Rafael Nadal opened his Madrid Open account with a perfect performance against Darwin Blanch, a win that was witnessed by his one-year-old son Rafael Jr. The little one seemed completely engaged in the match, providing camera-perfect reactions.

In his press conference after the match, Nadal was asked about having his son watch him play tennis, and he gave a heartfelt response to this, saying he wishes to play long enough for his son to remember actually watching the matches.

Nadal announced that this might be his last year on Tour, and he is making the most of it, traveling to tournaments with his family and having them by his side as he bids adieu to some of the most important tournaments in his career.

This would mean that there are sure to be more on-court moments with Rafa Jr., and tennis fans are all for it.
