Rafael Nadal And Girlfriend Maria Francisca Perello Struggle With No Grand Slam Titles

Rafael Nadal is letting “defeatism” rule this career, something that his long-time girlfriend Maria Francisca Perello cannot help him with. Feeling that there are no more grand slam titles in the future may be put Rafael Nadal in an odd mood.

According to Sports Illustrated, “Nadal has been projecting the impression that he himself believes the end is nigh. Not only is this premature for a guy who is still in his 20s; it’s a defeatism that other players are starting to perceive.”

While this is one sports writer’s opinion, there has signs that Rafael Nadal has been feeling that his winning streak and his amassing of grand slam titles were coming to a close.

But the Spaniard has plenty of news despite the fact that he has not been performing very well. After dropping out of the US Open 2015, he turned his eyes to Olympics, possibly to snatch the gold medal with his compatriot, Fernando Verdasco.

According to NCB Sports, “Rafael Nadal and Fernando Verdasco have discussed playing doubles for Spain at the Rio Olympics and will do so if all goes well over the next 10 months, Verdasco said, according to Marca.”

This would make an opportunity for his girlfriend Maria Francisca Perello to cheer for one to glory once more.

Other than this sports related news, Rafael Nadal has been grieving due to a death in the family.

According to AP, “Mallorca's regional government says the grandfather of Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal has died. He was 85.”

Seeing how his girlfriend Maria Francisca Perello has been by his side for decades now, she was a big person to lean on through this family tragedy.

In other news, Rafael Nadal fulfilled the prophecy that Andy Roddick doled out to BBC right before the US Open 2015. The American tennis player commented that Nadal "probably won't win another slam" in his career.

Maybe this is why he is choosing to turn his eyes away from grand slam titles and instead focus on Olympics with Fernando Verdasco. He probably will have much better chance in winning something in a double.
