Guillermo Vilas and another moving photo with Phiang, his wife: “Because you are my everything”

Guillermo Ville, who will turn 71 this 2023, is confined to his home in Monte Carlo. He has almost no public appearances. However, Phiang, his wife, is in charge of displaying her gift through posts on her Instagram account. This Tuesday she surprised by uploading a new photo of the Argentine tennis legend.

It was a caress for Great Willy: “Because you are my everything”, reads the message accompanying the image. It is apparently not the same sequence of shots, originally from 2020, that he had already shared just over a month ago. It is that in those images Guillermo had a white shirt and in this last one he is wearing a black one.

The few connections of the Vilas world with the outside come precisely through the social posts of Phiangphathu Khumueang, who married in 2005 and had four children: Andanin, Lalindao, Intila and Guillermo Jr, who days ago, also in the Instagram account by Phiang, was seen racket in hand on a hard tennis court.

On Monday, April 3, Phiang had revealed something of family intimacy on the occasion of the birthday of the little Guillermo Junior. That day, the only son of the native of Mar del Plata had blown out six candles and his mother had shared a photo that showed the embrace of the little heir with his father and the legend.

You could see the happy boy hugging his father, whose left arm was barely showing, the one that led him to be one of the best racketeers on the circuit, and a Superman shirt.

“Happy birthday my (heart emoji). Superman Super father,” was the message Vilas’ wife posted on Instagram.

Photos of Vilas have not been seen for a long time. One of the last postcards is of his participation in “You will be what you should be or you will be nothing”, the documentary by journalist Eduardo Puppo in which he recounts his struggle and that of his biographer to get the inventor of tennis in Argentina to appear as the number one in the world although the official ranking has never indicated him in that position.

Vilas, who no longer appears publicly, was until recently the coach of Andanin, his eldest daughter, who is 20 and was born in Paris. Then came Lalindao, who was born in Miami and is now 13 years old, and Intila, who is eleven months younger and was born in Buenos Aires. The smallest and only male in the family is Guillermo Junior, born on April 3, 2017 in Monaco, the family’s current place of residence.
