Support: Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal and his girlfriend Maria Francisca Perelló relax on a jet-ski off the coast of MarbellaHe's under a lot of pressure to clinch his third Wimbledon title when the tournament starts on Monday. So Rafael Nadal has been taking his mind off the court by enjoying a mini break in his home country of Spain.
The World No.2 was spotted frolicking on a yacht with long-term girlfriend Maria Francisca Perello and another female off the coast of Marbella.
Wearing a pair of white swimming trunks, the 26-year-old went jet-skiing and swimming in the Mediterranean. His holiday comes after he was knocked out of the Gerry Weber Open in Germany during the quarter-finals last Friday.
The blow came just four days after he beat Novak Djokovic to win the Men's French Open in Paris.

Another type of ball game: Nadal also went into shallower waters to play ball with a friendNadal and Perello have been dating for seven years, with the insurance company worker travelling to many of his games.
Despite his fame and fortune, Perello is adamant she will keep working on their home island of Mallorca.
She said last year: 'Travelling together everywhere, even if I could, would not be good either for him or for me.
Feeling the pressure: Nadal is hoping to win Wimbledon after ending up as a runner-up last year'He needs his space when he is competing, and just the idea of me hanging around waiting on his needs all day wears me out. It would asphyxiate me. And then he would have to be worrying about me … No. If I followed him everywhere, I think there’s a risk we might stop getting along.'
There is high expectations for Nadal at Wimbledon after he won the Men's Final in 2008 and 2010.
Last year, he was beaten by Serbian Djokovic in a gripping final.
