Nadal will become a father for the first time

Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal announced Friday that he will become a father for the first time, confirming information published by local newspapers.

"I'm going to be a father, I'm not used to talking about my personal life, because I think I'm exposed enough in my professional life," he said at a press conference in Mallorca.

There has been speculation about the pregnancy of his wife, Miri Berrio, since the last Roland Garros championship, which won the title for the 14th time, taking the number of major titles to 22 and enhancing his record.

Nadal, 36, preferred not to reveal more, stating that he prefers to keep his private life secret.

And whether this event will change his program of participation, he continued, "I do not expect any change in my professional life."

Today, Nadal expressed his intention to participate in the Wimbledon championships on grass, according to the development of his injury to his left foot.
