2 weeks ago in Paris, Rafael Nadal played his first tournament as a father. The 22-time slam champion admitted that it was tough for him to stay away from his newborn son. Therefore, he decided to have his son and wife Xisca with him during the ATP Finals in Turin. He revealed with a smile during an interview that a part of his family was with him in Italy. Later, her wife and son were spotted strolling in the streets of Turin.
