President of the Foundation bearing the name of the famous tennis player, she rarely appears in the media and maintains an elusive sense of discretion.
We have seen her on countless occasions at Rafa Nadal’s side, supporting him in his triumphs… but also in his defeats. She is Ana María Parera, the mother of one of the great legends of world sport. The winner of 21 Grand Slams is currently fighting for his fourteenth title at Roland Garros. For her mother, Rafa’s values are more important than victories: “The most important thing is to see that your son has become a person who has fought, whatever his job. So that he can succeed in what he wants and be happy in what he wants.” Ana María has been the president of the Rafa Nadal Foundation since 2008 and confesses that her son’s dream is to give children the opportunity that he had. Press play and meet the woman who brought the champion into the world and her unconditional support.
