Talk about drama-Queen’s Club! The final between David Nalbandian and Marin Cilic was abruptly ended when Nalbandian frustratingly kicked a line judge’s stand, injuring the judge and defaulting the match. Marin Cilic became the winner but let’s put the whirlwind aside and admire him just chilling in the locker room with his ginormous trophy (and [...]
Tuesday at the Brasil Open, off-court training included an untraditional activity – samba lessons! David Nalbandian, Frederico Gil, Diego Junqueira, Santiago Giraldo and Daniel Gimeno-Traver attended Tom Major Samba School in Barra Funda and learned a few dance steps.
Of the group, Frederico Gil was reportedly one of the liveliest. ”I’m enjoying it very much. It’s great we’re all together, eating and dancing,” he said.
David looks pretty into it too!

David Nalbandian’s impressive run ended today when Britian’s Andy Murray completely dismantled the Argentine 6-2, 6-2. In what many thought would end as an upset for Murray, turns out those who thought that were the ones that were upset.
Murray came out strong and proved, sans coach (but plus mom, Judy), he can still make a play [...]
