It’s set to be a special year for Rafael, who is yet to confirm his attendance at Wimbledon this year. He previously hinted to HELLO! that he would love to have children with Mery, explaining: “Obviously, I have the intention of forming a family. I love children and I would like my children to do what they like.”
The beautiful couple, who have been in a committed relationship for 17 years, tied the knot in October 2019.

Meanwhile, the Spaniard has been undergoing treatment for Muller-Weiss syndrome, the chronic injury he was diagnosed with in 2005 in his left foot. After his recent win, Rafael immediately underwent a new foot treatment with many hoping he will participate in Wimbledon which kicks off later this month.
“If my body allows it, I’ll be in Wimbledon: someone like me certainly doesn’t want to miss that tournament,” he said. “My desire is to take the field, but I can’t give a certain answer yet. What I’m sure of is that he won’t repeat the foot injections done here in Paris. If I can play by taking simple anti-inflammatories then I’ll be there.”
