If Rafael Nadal has any intentions of leaving the sport in the near future, then it is fair to say he is using his limited court time to mold his successor.
Nadal's one-year-old son is now part of his courtside team with his wife, Maria Francisca Perello, and coaching entourage led by former World No. 1 Carlos Moya.
Rafa Junior, as he is popularly known, has mostly been in the comforting arms of his parents and was spotted getting all the love during Nadal's preseason camp in Kuwait in the first raw footage of him on a tennis court in the company of his father.
At the Brisbane International, where Nadal is making his tennis comeback after 11 months of being on the sidelines, he walked hand-in-hand with his toddler to the practice courts in an adorable moment that was captured by the backstage video cameras and which melted the hearts of tennis fans.
