This afternoon in Parma de Mallorca, Rafael Nadal became the father of his first child after his wife, Maria Perello gave birth to a baby boy.

Only one day after the Spaniard resumed his training in preparation for the rest of this season, he welcomed a new member of his young family. Rafael Nadal and Maria Perello. News were confirmed by Diario de Mallorca and source talking to the newspaper said: "Both the mum and her baby, born in the 37th week of her pregnancy, are doing well."

"The birth took place in a private clinic on the island where Mery had to remain under observation and rest completely in the last few weeks."

According to several Spanish publications, the name of their newborn son is Rafael and so the 22-time Grand Slam champion's name probably won't disappear from the ATP Tour for a long time as soon we may witness Rafael Nadal Jr. following his father's footsteps.
