While rivals Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic slug it out for the Dubai championship this week, world No. 1 Rafael Nadal is home in Mallorca where Spaniard has been recovering from a thigh injury and more recently honing his acting skills by shooting a commercial.

In the video below, Nadal was on location at Manacor’s Plaza de sa Bassa yesterday to film an ad for the Spanish bank Banesto. It looks like Nadal’s girlfriend Xisca Perello in also on the scene to make sure her man Rafa is up to snuff.

Nadal is scheduled to return to tennis next weekend when Spain travels to Belgium for a Davis Cup first round match.

Where did you see or hear mention of the girlfriend? She is NOT in this video.

It’s grandfather Nadal who is making sure young Rafel is ‘up to snuff’ from the window of his home overlooking the plaza where the commercial (for Banesto) was being shot.

The lady fixing Rafa’s collar is NOT Xisca, though she has a similar look. Xisca is younger and prettier! Good to see Rafa, can’t wait for his return to tennis!
