Fernando Verdasco has a young son named Mateo and he is obssessed with tennis according to his father with Rafael Nadal being his favourite player.
Rafael Nadal seems to be the favorite player of tennis offspring with both Djokovic's son and Verdasco's son favoring the Spaniard. Djokovic joked around that he wasn't thrilled by it but Verdasco seems to be more open to it. In a recent chat with a tennis reporter in Dallas he opened up about his son and his Nadal fandom.
The reporter shared the encounter on social media saying:
"Per Fernando Verdasco, his 2yo son Mateo is obsessed with tennis & repeatedly asked when he could see "his friend Rafa" in Australia. Said he proceeded to greet Nadal with a tap on the butt, and added he’s probably the only person who could get away with that."
