Soccer legend Diego Maradona was a ubiquitous presence during the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. The Argentine was spotted in the crowd (in Novak Djokovic’s box no less) and hobnobbing with the elite of tennis throughout the event.

Following his match against Federer, here’s some footage of Nadal speaking to Maradona.

Among the other stars courtside for the Sunday match were Kevin Spacy, Thierry Henry, Ronnie Wood, Princess Beatrice and Federer’s good friend Gavin Rossadale.

Any translation would be appreciated.

I am glad to see that all of these high-profile celebrities turn out to watch a tennis match. Many people are unaware of how much celebrities enjoy watching the game of tennis along with playing it. The ATP tour should start a campaign using various celebrities to help endorse the game.
