Xisca Perello has been dating Rafa for over eight years and has been close to him through the highs and lows of his career.

Xisca - her real name is Maria Francisca Perello - reportedly met Nadal in school in Majorca.

Xisca prefers to keep a low-profile and does not often watch her boyfriend play.

She however has been at the Arthur Ashe Stadium and has been rooting for Nadal all the way.

Such is the demure of Xisca that her cousin was once quoted by media reports as saying that the star-girlfriend is not interested in fame or glamour. "She is a straight-forward, no-nonsense person."

When Nadal battles Djokovic for the crown though, expect her to chant prayers and perhaps, even let a roar slip out.
