This is not the first time Nalbandian has had a scare while driving. The Argentine, who turned to rally racking a couple of years back, suffered a similar accident when his car flipped during a competition in 2016.
As a tennis player, the 36-year-old peaked to No. 3 in the ATP rankings and won 11 singles titles. He reached the Wimbledon final in 2002 and also won the World Tour Finals in 2005.
