(May 15, 2013) Juan Martin Del Potro met fellow Argentine, Pope Francis at a Wednesday service in the Vatican City.
The new Pope, his Holiness Pope Francis, formerly Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, is the first Pope to come from South America.
“It was an incredible experience with Pope Francis, something that I’ll never forget,” said Del Potro.
“It was a dream come true for a guy like me. It was an unforgettable moment. I was very nervous before meeting him, to be able to congratulate him and talk with him. He was nice. Everybody knows he is very humble. Today was a day that I’ll remember for ever.”
Hoy pude conocer y hablar con el Papa Francisco en el Vaticano. Fue un momento único para mí, jamás lo olvidaré.
