Tennis star Rafael Nadal and long-term girlfriend Mery Perello are set to get married later this year following the couple's recent engagement. Nadal, who on Sunday lost out in the Australian Open final to Novak Djokovic, proposed to Perello while the couple were on holiday in Rome in May, reported Spanish magazine Hola. Flash floods struck his home island of Mallorca, killing 13 people, including the cousin of one of his best friends and her young son. "I really lived that tragedy, from very close," Nadal told CNN Sport in December.
