"When he first has to go to Australia, it will be hard to be away" - Toni Nadal on Rafa's fatherhood

| by Sebastian Dahlman

Rafael Nadal recently became a father, so he will need to get used to being away from his family and the new baby.

Although Nadal is accustomed to being apart from his wife, it will be quite difficult for him now that their child has arrived. According to his uncle Toni Nadal, who spoke to the Majorca Daily Bulletin about becoming a parent, it's something that will be very hard, especially when he goes to Australia.

"He will do this totally normally. He's not a special guy, as all footballers and many others do this. When he first has to go to Australia, it will be hard to be away, but in the end it is the price you have to pay" said Toni Nadal understand that it will be hard for Nadal to be away from the family.

Nadal will go through that for the first time when he leaves his family behind to travel to Paris to compete in the Rolex Masters and, possibly, the Turin ATP Finals. He is on the entry list of both events but is unconfirmed for either as of now.

During the winter, he will also be in South America organizing a few exhibition events alongside Casper Ruud. It should begin in Buenos Aires on November 23rd, three days after the conclusion of the ATP Finals.
