It had been a while since an image of Guillermo Vilas
had been seen
.
It is that the best Argentine tennis player in history, with some health problems, lives in Monte Carlo far from the flashes and takes refuge in the support of his family.
However, after a long time, Phiang, the wife of the
Great Willy
, returned to show a picture of him.
They are two photos in which the woman receives affection from the man who changed the history of the sport of rackets.
The few connections of the Vilas world with the outside come precisely through the posts on social networks of Phiang,
whom she married in 2006 and had four children: Andanin, Lalindao, Intila and Guillermo.
This time, no words were needed.
Just a heart that redounds the love that the images transmit.
A week ago, on Monday, April 3, Phiang had shown some family intimacy on the occasion of little Guillermo Junior's birthday.
That day, the only male child of the Mar del Plata native had blown out six candles and his mother had shared a photo that showed the little heir hugging his father and his legend.
You could see the happy boy hugging his dad, whose left arm could barely be seen, the one that led him to be one of the best rackets on the circuit, and a Superman t-shirt.
Yeah right,
big Willy is little Willy's superhero
.
“Happy birthday my (heart emoji).
Superman Super father", was the message that Vilas's wife posted on Instagram.
This Monday, Phiang took another step and showed the face of Vilas, who is already 70 years old.
No images of his face have been seen for a long time when he participated in the documentary by journalist Eduardo Puppo in which he recounts his struggle to be number one in the world despite the fact that the ranking never showed him in that position.
It is not the first time that Phiangphathu Khumueang, her partner since 2000, has shown intimate scenes.
At the end of 2021, she had also moved Vilas's followers with a family video in which family routines are observed.
On that occasion, the four heirs of the enormous Willy were seen going to play tennis at the Monte-Carlo Country Club, where the best of the professional circuit are for this week.
In the video, also posted on Instagram, you could see the three daughters of the man from Mar del Plata, winner of 62 titles, walking through the club, towards the field.
And the youngest, following a little behind, struggling to carry a racket bag almost as big as him.
Vilas, who no longer appears publicly, was until recently Andanin's coach, his eldest daughter, who is 20 years old and was born in Paris.
Later came Lalindao, who was born in Miami and is now 13, and Intila, who is eleven months younger and arrived in Buenos Aires.
The smallest and the only male in the family is Guillermo Junior, who was born on April 3, 2017 in Monaco, his current place of residence.
