In a candid interview, Nadal shared his thoughts on fatherhood and the pressure that could come with being the son of one of the sport’s greatest athletes.

“He’s going to have to live in a world where his father is a tennis player. That’s something that might be difficult for him,” Nadal confessed. “I don’t want him to feel like he has to carry the burden of my career on his shoulders. I want him to follow his passions and do whatever makes him happy, without the pressure to fill my shoes.”

Nadal’s reflective statement comes as he continues to focus on spending quality time with his family, especially his wife, Maria Francisca, and their young son. The tennis star, who is nearing the end of his illustrious career, has made it clear that his priority is now his family, rather than adding to his already immense legacy in the sport.

While Nadal’s achievements will undoubtedly be part of his son’s history, the tennis icon has expressed his desire for his son to have the freedom to pursue his own dreams—be it in tennis, sports, or any other field that sparks his interest.

“I think it’s important that children aren’t burdened with unrealistic expectations, and I want him to know that my love and support are unconditional, regardless of the path he chooses,” Nadal added.
