Rafael Nadal’s sister Maribel shared glimpses from her recent beach getaway with friends. However, she did not disclose the location.
Nadal is enduring a difficult season, with an underwhelming 12-7 win-loss record, with injuries hampering his full participation. The Spaniard, now ranked 154th in the ATP rankings, has opted to skip major events, including Wimbledon, the US Open, and most recently, the Laver Cup.
The 22-time Major champion, however, has long received unwavering support from his family, including younger sister Maribel. The former World No. 1 went recently on a trip to Lake Como, Italy, with his family, highlights of which were shared by her on Instagram. In the pictures, she is posing elegantly at a beach with two of her friends, at an undisclosed location.

Maribel has consistently demonstrated her unwavering support for Nadal during his matches. The 35-year-old often travels with her elder brother to his tournaments, joined by their parents, his wife Maria, and their baby son.
