Nicolas Jarry's wife Laura Urutti recently shared some adorable moments of their oldest son Juan's day out in the streets of Barcelona. The 20-month-old boy seems to have inherited his father’s passion for tennis, as he was seen holding his junior racquet everywhere he went.
Jarry, currently ranked No. 19 in the world, has had an impressive 2023 season. He won two ATP titles, in Santiago and Geneva, and also achieved his best results at all four Grand Slams, making it to the second round of the Australian Open, the third round of the US Open and the Wimbledon Championships, and the fourth round of the French Open.
The Chilean, who married his longtime girlfriend Laura Urruti in 2020, became a father for the second time in August this year when they welcomed their son Santiago.

In the second clip, Juan can be seen walking on the streets of Barcelona, not letting go of his Wilson Junior Minion racquet.
"And yes, he doesn’t think about leaving his racquet for a second," Urruti wrote.

Jarry started the year with a second-round appearance at the Australian Open, coming through the qualifying rounds and defeating Miomir Kecmanovic in the main draw, eventually losing to Ben Shelton in straight sets.
The Chilean then dominated the South American swing, winning his second ATP title in his hometown of Santiago, where he defeated Tomas Martin Etcheverry in a three-set thriller. He also reached the semifinal in Rio de Janeiro, where he lost to Carlos Alcaraz, 7-6(2), 5-7.

He also reached the fourth round of Roland Garros for the first time, beating Hugo Dellien, Tommy Paul, and Marcos Giron before falling to Casper Ruud in the fourth round, 6-7(3), 5-7, 5-7.
Jarry showed versatility and improvement on other surfaces, reaching the third round of the Wimbledon Championships and the US Open, where he lost to Alcaraz and Alex de Minaur, respectively. He ended the year ranked No. 19 in the world, becoming the highest-ranked Chilean player since Fernando Gonzalez in 2010.
