David Nalbandian beats Rafael Nadal in Buenos Aires exhibition match

Retired tennis player David Nalbandian delighted his fans when the former world number three defeated current world number one Rafael Nadal 6-4, 7-6 at an exhibition match that took place in Cordoba. This marks Nadal’s second consecutive defeat in a series of exhibition tournaments this week. Nadal was beaten by world number two Novak Djokovic in their exhibition encounter in Chile.

“For me it’s a historic day, thank you very much for the support I had always had from you,” Nalbandian said to thousands of people who watched the event.

Nalbandian will meet Nadal in another exhibition match this Saturday in Buenos Aires.
