London Olympic silver medalist Andrea Hlavackova has shared a few adorable pictures of her daughter posing with 21-time Grand Slam winner Rafael Nadal.
The 35-year-old Hlavackova won silver in the women's doubles event at the London 2012 Olympics with Lucie Hradecka. The pair lost to Venus and Serena Williams in the final. Hlavackova is also a two-time Grand Slam champion in doubles, having won the 2011 Roland Garros and 2013 US Open (both with Hradecka). She won the 2017 WTA Finals in Istanbul partnering Timea Babos.
Hlavackova, who retired in 2019, has a two-year-old daughter, Bibi, with former Italian tennis player Fabrizio Sestini. At the ongoing Italian Open in Rome, she shared a few photos of Bibi with 10-time champion Rafael Nadal.
"Hola Rafa can you take a picture with Bibi? Rafa: Offcourse Bibi : Noooo," she captioned her post.
Nadal is competing at the Rome Masters this week, hoping to successfully defend his title from last year. The Spaniard has a formidable 68-7 record in the Italian capital, winning 10 titles from 12 finals. He's coming off a quarter-final showing in Madrid, where he lost to eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz in three sets.

Rafael Nadal slated to face top seed Novak Djokovic in Rome semifinals
Rafael Nadal has a tough route to the Rome title this week, as he has been drawn in the same half as top seed Novak Djokovic.
The 35-year-old is likely to open his campaign against American John Isner, who took two sets off Nadal at 2011 Roland Garros. Nadal could face fellow left-hander Denis Shapovalov for a place in the quarterfinals.
His last-eight opponent is likely to be either Casper Ruud or Hubert Hurkacz before a potential semi-final showdown with five-time Italian Open winner Novak Djokovic. Nadal has had a storied rivalry with Djokovic, especially in Rome.
The pair have met nine times in the Italian capital, with Nadal leading the head-to-head 6-3. Nadal has won four of their six meetings in finals, including a three-set victory last year. The legendary left-hander has not lost to Djokovic in Rome since 2016.
However, the Spaniard did lose to Djokovic in their most recent meeting on clay - the 2021 Roland Garros semifinals. The Serb went on to become the first player in the Open Era to win the double career Grand Slam, recovering from two sets down to beat Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final.
