In a recent interview though, Nalbandian recalled a funny situation with Roger Federer.

What happened. Well. In Monte-Carlo at the Masters event there, he played play station with Rafael Nadal and David Ferrer. They had a wager and Nalbandian lost ending up in his underwear in front of Roger Federer. He explained:

"We had organized a small tournament and the loser would have had to go down to the hotel lobby in his underwear and take the elevator. Unfortunately, I was the loser and was not allowed to negotiate. So I headed for the elevator and the funniest thing is that when the doors opened I found myself face to face with Roger Federer and Mirka. It was a really embarrassing situation!"
