Rafael Nadal, vacationing on a yacht in Majorca with a group of friends and family including childhood love Xisca Perello, is taking some time off after Wimbledon.
Wimbledon didn’t go so well for Nadal. In the first round of the Grand Slam, Nadal lost to the unseeded Steve Darcis of Belgium. Nadal, ranked number five in the world, had never experienced a first-round loss before, although he did lose in the second round of Wimbledon in 2012. It was speculated that his past knee trouble and the grass courts contributed to his poor showing.
Nadal’s next tournament will be at the Rogers Cup in Montreal in August, followed by the Western & Southern Open the following week, and then the US Open Championships, which kicks off the last week in August in New York.
Perello, who Nadal met in his small Mallorcan hometown, won’t necessary be accompanying her longtime love at all his upcoming events. “Travelling together everywhere, even if I could, would not be good either for him or for me,” Perello, who works in insurance, once said. ”He needs his space when he is competing, and just the idea of me hanging around waiting on his needs all day wears me out. It would asphyxiate me.”
