Fans were amazed as Gabriela Sabatini and Rafael Nadal were spotted on court during their exhibition match in South America
Retired players Gabriela Sabatini and Gisela Dulko are also playing in the exhibition tour that takes place in a caravan format. The competition began on Wednesday, November 23, in Buenos Aires and will culminate on December 1 in Mexico City.
The 1990 US Open champion Sabatini teamed up with the 22-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal in a mixed doubles exhibition event and sent the tennis world into a frenzy. South American tennis fans received delightful news when Nadal announced a few weeks ago that he would be taking part in the exhibition tour.
Ruud teamed up with another retired female player, Gisela Dulko to take on Sabatini and Nadal. The fans were ecstatic to see the contest unfold. Nadal and Sabatini eventually came up trumps 6-4 in an entertaining affair.
Fans have been lauding the 52-year-old Argentine for maintaining her fitness levels and looking quite fit during the match.
Fans’ reactions to Rafael Nadal and Gabriela Sabatini being pictured together
It is not quite often that you would see someone else steal the spotlight while playing alongside Rafael Nadal. Gabriela Sabatini might not have stolen the spotlight entirely from the current world No. 2 ranked Nadal but she certainly managed to mesmerize the tennis world with her physique and fitness even after having retired 26 years ago.
