SYDNEY, Australia -- Former world No. 1 Patrick Rafter's partner Lara Feltham has given birth to the couple's first child.
"We are ecstatic to have our little man with us," Rafter said in a statement released by the ATP Tour. "Everything went well with the delivery and we are extremely thankful for the care and professionalism from the hospital and its staff.
"As you can understand, this is an intimate time in our lives and we would appreciate your respect for our privacy."
Rafter, 29, a twice former U.S. Open champion and twice Wimbledon runner-up, has been taking a break from tennis this year.
However, the 2001 Australian of the Year has been tipped to make a comeback in the next few months by former Davis Cup captain John Newcombe.
The baby boy, whose name was not revealed, was born at a hospital on Queensland's Sunshine Coast at 7 a.m. local time on Thursday.
