Former Argentine tennis star David Nalbandian – who reached the Wimbledon final in 2002 – has been accused of secretly filming his ex-girlfriend after they split.<\/p>\n
Nalbandian, 41, was one of the sport’s elite stars in the 2000s, rising to as high as world No 3 in March 2006.<\/p>\n
He won 11 singles tournaments and along with his appearance in the Wimbledon final 21 years ago when he lost in straight sets to Lleyton Hewitt, Nalbandian also reached the semi-final at least once in the other three Grand Slams.<\/p>\n
However, according to German outlet BILD, Nalbandian is now embroiled in a scandal with his former partner Araceli Torrado, 29.<\/p>\n
The report claims the Argentine – who was in a relationship with Torrado between September 2022 to June 2023 – installed a camera in the apartment the couple lived in in Palermo, Italy, after their split to continue monitor her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Nalbandian, 41, was in a relationship with Argentine model Araceli Torrado for almost a year<\/p>\n
When Torrado’s brother visited the flat, he reportedly noticed a bizarre glow behind an air shaft before removing the cover and finding the camera.<\/p>\n
The camera was installed in Torrado’s bedroom, leaving the model and influencer in shock.<\/p>\n
‘The horror was indescribable: He not only watched me, but could also see me naked!’, the report claims she said in the indictment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had originally reported Nalbandian to police immediately, but a lack of evidence saw the charges dropped.<\/p>\n

Torrado was left horrified that the secret camera in her bedroom had been installed<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The camera was found by Torrado’s brother on a visit and it was set up behind an air shaft<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Nalbandian (pictured in 2012) is reportedly facing charges of stalking and sexual harassment<\/p>\n
However, Torrado and her lawyers persisted and showed audio recordings and messages which allegedly led to Nalbandian admitting to filming her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Argentine newspaper La Nacion report that in a voice message the former tennis star allegedly said: ‘Do you want me to be honest? Yes, I set up the camera.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘But I couldn\u2019t see anything because there were internet problems.’<\/p>\n
The report goes onto claim Nalbandian is now facing charges of stalking and sexual harassment, with the 41-year-old likely to be sued by his ex-partner if found guilty.\u00a0<\/p>\n
