Rafa Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz were not the only protagonists of the exhibition match that was played this morning at the Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas (USA) and which ended with a victory for the Murcian tennis player 3-6, 6 -4 and 14-12 in the final tiebreaker.
Part of the attention was focused on the stands, where the families of both athletes attended the match. And the son of Nadal and Xisca Perelló, little Rafael, just over a year old, has not been missing either.
It seemed that the youngest also wanted to play tennis, so he took a small racket and a ball and did not stop hitting it for a long time, always under the watchful eye of his aunt, María Isabel Nadal, and his grandfather, Sebastián Nadal. , which he took the opportunity to record it with his mobile phone.
The scene has been captured by some of the attendees at the exhibition match held in Las Vegas. “Rafa junior is hitting a tennis ball with a mini racket and I will never be the same again,” said the author of the video, published on X (formerly Twitter).
Some users of this social network highlighted the skill of Nadal’s son: “This child has better coordination than some people I know.” “The biggest star of the game. And the prettiest,” said another. “Using his right hand, not like his father’s,” others highlighted.
Alcaraz beat Nadal in the exhibition match by 3-6, 6-4 and 14-12 in the final tiebreaker, held this morning at the Michelob Ultra Arena stadium in Las Vegas, an event called The Netflix Slam, which involved the premiere of the Netflix platform in the live broadcast of tennis matches.
