On the pitch, Nadal, the clay king from Spain, has rewritten the history of Roland Garros, who has won the French Open 13 times, becoming the player who has won the most single Grand Slam titles in history, both men and women. On October 19, 2019, Nadal and his long-time girlfriend Maria Francesca Perello had a fairytale wedding. The wedding took place in Safotalesa, in the port of Pollenza, one of the most extravagant estates in Spain. Nadal and Siska finally got married after living together for 14 years.
Nadal explains why not children
For nearly two decades, the men's tennis world has been guarded by the big four of Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray, and the big four who have achieved great results on the field have a happy family life, but the other three have already had the next generation, and only Nadal has been slow to move. In a recent interview, Nadal also answered the fans' questions. In an interview with Marca, Nadal said: "I keep my promise to tennis and my family. I love tennis and I love life outside of tennis. I used to say I wouldn't have kids before I retired because long trips made it difficult for me to do both. And I also have a wife, and I'm not the only one making decisions, and I respect her choices. You have to change and adapt to the situation. Have a child? I don't know, things are not easy to predict. At my current age, I thought I was retired and I should have started a family. Asked what he would look like in 10 years, Nadal replied: "I thought when I was younger, I might have left professional tennis at 30, but now I'm still here."
Brilliant career
In his career, Nadal has a great record. He won the 2008 Olympic Singles Title and the 2016 Olympic Doubles Title, the Davis Cup (2004, 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2019) for Spain five times, the ATP Masters 36 times, the ATP 500 title and the ATP 250 champion 9 times. Nadal spent 209 weeks in the world number one position, and together with Federer he ranked first and second in history with five seasons. He is the only player in history to be at number one in the ATP rankings in a thirty-year period (2000-2009, 2010-2019, 2020-2029). In addition, he is the second longest tennis player in the world (370 weeks in total). He is also the only player in history to consistently rank in the top ten and is also the absolute record holder for the number of consecutive top ten weeks (822 weeks: from April 25, 2005 to today).
