Rafael Nadal recently spent time in Vienna, Austria, with his wife Maria Francisca Perello as his comeback plans for the 2024 season gain steam.
The 22-time Grand Slam champion appeared in only two competitions in the 2023 season, at the United Cup and the Australian Open. He lost both his encounters at the former and reached the second round at the latter, where he fell to Mackenzie McDonald in an injury-hit straight-sets loss.
That injury took Nadal out for the rest of the season, and he is now set to return to action at next year’s Brisbane International. But before that he took some time out to go on a vacation with his family, as revealed to fans by Nadal himself on social media.
On Thursday (December 7), the southpaw took to Instagram to share a story alongside his wife from Vienna, posing from the iconic Josefplatz courtyard in Austria’s capital city.

“About last night in… Vienna,” Nadal wrote, along with a kissing emoji.
In a recent video, the former World No. 1 laid out his plans for his comeback. He said he was looking forward to being competitive once again and that he did not want to put any other kind of pressure on himself in Brisbane.
“I have finally had good training weeks at a level that allows me the possibility to compete again. I have gone through many phases, but I today I think it’s time: I’m coming back in a tournament, a 250 tournament. I know it’s a difficult tournament but I hope to be ready to compete. I don’t aspire to anything else — to be competitive,” Rafael Nadal said.
The 37-year-old has been handed a wildcard for the ATP 250 event, following which he will make use of his Protected Ranking to enter the Australian Open main draw.
