Jyvaskyla (Finland): Done with his "job" on the Pro tennis circuit, David Nalbandian is now testing his skills as a rally racer by competing in Argentina's national rally championship.

Coming from the Argentine city of Cordoba, where rally race is a tradition, it was not surprising that Nalbandian was struck by the diverse challenges that rally racing throws at the drivers.

After bidding adieu to the Pro tennis circuit in 2013, the 34-year-old Argentine is now testing his own skills at rally races.

"Racing in Argentina is great, it's different than tennis. It's a novel kind of experience. I am enjoying, having fun. I always liked rallying. I always say I am a rally fan. I race in Argentina nationals," Nalbandian, who reached the final of the Wimbledon in 2003 and is the only Argentine player to reach semi-finals or better at all Grand Slams, said.
