Rafa and "Xisca" have been a couple for 14 years. According to consistent media reports, the wedding is to take place in Mallorca. Perella has been a loyal companion of the 17-time major winner for years, but most recently had to experience the final loss to Novak Djokovic up close in Melbourne.
The engagement was reportedly in Rome last year. Rafael Nadal has long expressed a desire to start a family. On this point, however, his long-term rivals Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray are already a few steps ahead - in the case of Federer even four. The good news for the Mallorcan: Federer is five years older than him. So Nadal has enough time to add fuel.
