Rafael Nadal has just become a father after his baby boy was born on Saturday. There is no official announcement from Rafa’s family and it is still not known what the name of the newborn is. Obviously, there are many speculations and one of them is that the 22-time slam champion called his son Rafael. These were the amused reaction of the fans.
Félicitations.

not people genuinely baffled by him naming his son rafael?? 😭 the statistical probability of it happening was always very high given his grandfather was called rafael, and his uncle rafael named HIS son rafael too.
