Since he has had a string of victories, Rafael Nadal has always had the same first supporter: Maria Francisca Perello, known as Xisca. Together since adolescence, the two got married in 2019. Portrait of the one who has been by his side since the beginning.
We should be choosy to find Rafael Nadal unpleasant to watch. However, the tall brown has a few habits that could confuse, even disgust. Before each service, the current 3rd in the ATP ranking replace the elastic of his panties several times, and, with the same hand that has just touched this oozing place during sports practice, he replaces a lock of hair behind the ear. Gestures that also make up the panoply of the character, but which clearly lack sex appeal.
There is one that does not hold it against him: Maria Francisca Perello, called Xisca, his wife since 2019. However, she could not miss the manias of her darling, since she is regularly present for her most important matches. This year, Xisca made the trip all the way to Paris to encourage his tennis player on the clay courts of Roland Garros. Present, but not extroverted: Xisca is not one to take the spotlight, even if all eyes turn to the beautiful brunette when she sits in the stands.
Independent
Xisca and Rafa met very young. Childhood friends, their complicity turns into love in adolescence and, Since, they do not leave each other. They were slow to formalize their union, since they have only been united since 2019. A desire for independence? In fact, Xisca Perello is not the type to live off her husband, even if the latter is a rich sportsman. While the tennis player was already winning his first major tournaments, Maria Francisca continued her studies. “I don’t like the idea of spending my days waiting for him. I would feel asphyxiated”, she told the Telegraph.
So, while Rafa continues to run the tournaments, Xisca has joined the executive management of the Rafael Nadal Foundation, which helps young people in Spain and India. In this institution, she was appointed general secretary. Without replacing any rubber band before an important meeting.
