Meet Maria Francisca “Xisca” Perello, the gorgeous girlfriend of tennis player Rafael Nadal. See photos, video and a biography of Maria below.
20-year-old Maria Francisca Perello, whose nickname is “Xisca”, keeps such a low profile that many had no idea she has been dating tennis star Rafael Nadal for the past three years. You won’t find her watching her boyfriend play because she doesn’t want to be a distraction. Nadal’s uncle, Toni Nadal, who is also his trainer, said:
‘I guess a lot of girls will be upset to know the truth. My nephew always maintained he was single. It was a well-kept secret but actually his girlfriend is waiting for him in Majorca.’
As a biography, Maria Francisca Perello is 20 years old. She and Rafael met while in school in Majorca. Xisca attends a university in Palma, Majorca’s capital and is currently preparing for her exams. Xisca’s cousin, Maria Perello Limones, said that Xisca is not into the typical WAG demeanor – “She is a straightforward, no-nonsense girl not interested in glamour and fame.”
Might we see her at Wimbledon, where Rafael thinks he can beat Federer?

He and his girlfriend appear perfect for one another. She is not ugly “Sam” you are just jealous. He met a girl from home, fell in love and will probably live happily ever after. Get over it kids. And she it is likely she is as lovely on the inside as she as on the outside. She abided by his wishes and kept things on the QT until he was ready to let it public. It’s called mutual respect. A solid relationship. Cool.

did you see her in wimbledon 2010. she was in tears. it sort of explains how down-to-earth nadal is. he doesnt fall for tooth picks with fake tan. he chose someone he knew from when he wasnt so famous. felt like crying too…cuz i was so damned jealous!!!
July 4th, 2010 at 10:11 am
Like the others I am jealous too. But at least she is normal & I hope at least they met when he was NOT famous… I think she has a very good body, but her looks are very natural
