While Novak Djokovic continues to win titles, Rafael Nadal is currently nursing his hip injury. He is out of action following a surgery and looks to make a comeback for the next season. One of his close friends in tennis, David Ferrer, revealed his dream to make a comeback for the 2024 Davis Cup. Yet, Djokovic handed a blow to those plans as Spain knocked them out. Meanwhile, Argentina won their Davis Cup qualifiers against Lithuania, and the players hit the Lionel Messi celebration. 

Tennis and soccer come to life together these days as players are celebrating the Messi way in recent times.

After the match, tennis players Maximo Gonzalez and Andres Molteni defeated Tadas Babelis and Edas Butvilas in a penultimate match. Apart from the sensational points, the talking point of the game turned out to be the Black Panther celebration at the end. They stood together with their arms across the chest, paying homage to Wakanda forever! Recently, Messi has celebrated with Marvel celebrations as he did with Spiderman and Thor. 

 

It’s trending for the nature of the celebration, and other players are doing the same. Gonzalez talked about the celebration and outlined the reasons behind its origin. Gonzalez discussed, “We celebrated like an alien, from what he told us, and Messi was just celebrating the Marvel movies. That week Thor’s came out, and we won the tournament. In Cincinnati, we did the Black Panther one, and we won. So I’m going to watch Messi to see what he does.”
