In the halls of the BALTC he also came across Gabriela Sabatini, the best Argentine tennis player in history, with whom he was seen chatting very relaxed. He took a typical gift from our country: a mate. And, of course, he enjoyed Alcaraz’s great victory like a fan.
“I knew it was coming, because the same company represents us,” the Spaniard acknowledged after the game. “Meeting with these types of stars is a bit new for me, I don’t see myself at that level. I never expect a star like him to come watch my game, although it’s always nice.”
And he added: “I like basketball. When I can, I see it and I also see it. And the truth is, I’m not very bad at it.”
Butler surprised Argentines when, a few days ago, he shared a story on Instagram in which the Casa Rosada was seen.
