Rafael Nadal and his wife Maria Perello are expecting their first child in October. Mery Perello, who is 31 weeks into her pregnancy, was admitted to a private clinic in Palma.
The legendary Spaniard will be concerned as Diario de Mallorca reports Perello could undergo surgery in the coming hours as per the recommendation of her doctors.
Perello has been in the hospital since Monday and has her family by her side. Rafael Nadal’s sister, Maribel Nadal, has also been spotted.
The 34-year-old is at a very crucial stage of her pregnancy and will remain under observation as a precautionary measure.
The 22-time Grand Slam champion revealed after winning his 14th French Open title that his wife was pregnant. He is currently in New York practicing ahead of the US Open championships. The US Open draw takes place this Thursday with the main tournament beginning on August 29. The qualifiers have already begun.
