Fan of River and Julián Álvarez

Kneeling in the brick dust, she is usually seen making the Spiderman gesture and, of course, in an interview she had to give she did not hide that passion: “It arose once we played doubles with Marti Capurro. How she reached all the balls and I stretched like ‘Spiderman’, they screwed me with that. Later they also took advantage of my fanaticism for Julián, whom I admire.”
