During the meeting, the tennis player "openly expressed himself as an admirer of the president and his wife".
The meeting with Milei in Miami
Almost two decades later, Nalbandian showed himself in an equally friendly tone towards the new occupants of the Casa Rosada. At the meeting in Miami, the tennis player asked the President, "How are you?".
The "Dolores Argentina" ad for Cristina Kirchner
In October 2007, during Cristina Kirchner's presidential campaign, David Nalbandian was one of the central figures in the "Dolores Argentina" ad. The ad, which compared the country's growth post-2001 with the life of a girl named Dolores, showed the tennis player seated in the presidential chair alongside other personalities such as Estela de Carlotto and the "Tigress" Acuña.
This closeness was confirmed a month later, in November 2007, when Nalbandian (after winning the Paris and Madrid Masters) was received in the presidential office by Néstor Kirchner and Cristina Fernández.
The Córdoba athlete looked cheerful and relaxed alongside President Javier Milei and the Secretary General of the Presidency, Karina Milei, at a meeting in Miami.

The former tennis player David Nalbandian returned to the political scene with a photo that created a strong contrast with his past.
The current image strongly contrasts with the explicit support the tennis player gave to Kirchnerism in 2007.
During the conversation, Milei explained to the athletes the importance of the recent legislative elections, assuring that the new composition of Congress "will allow reforms to advance" and "accelerate much more".
To a joke about playing "doubles", Javier Milei replied that he would "only watch".
Nalbandian, for his part, added: "Each one in what they know".
