“Congratulations @RafaelNadal!!! It makes us very happy to take this step with Xisca. Thank you for teaching us the good things in life. Bless you,” one wrote. Another added: “@RafaelNadal congrats to your engagement with Xisca finally!! Your lives will be even better and happier together for sure!!”

The athlete — who is currently ranked No. 2 in the world for the racket-wielding sport — most recently lost the Australian Open to fellow tennis star Novak Djokovic. Nadal, whose newly minted fiancée was in the stands cheering him on, was seemingly in good spirits as he departed the tournament despite the loss.

“So long #melbourne as always it was a pleasure to be there and play the @australianopen looking forward to the rest of the season and to coming back to #australia next year!!!” Nadal captioned an Instagram photo on Monday, January 28.
