Rafael Nadal and his wife Maria Francisca have just become parents of a baby boy. Rafa and his wife remained quite secretive about the newborn. They didn’t release any pictures and they did not disclose the name of their son. However, according to some reports, Nadal and his wife decided to call their child Rafael honoring the memory of Rafa’s grandfather. That prompted some reaction from social media of people already dreaming of another Rafael Nadal winning plenty of Roland Garros.
Here are some of the hilarious posts published on Twitter.
