Back in 2010, Rafael Nadal starred in a music video with Colombian pop icon Shakira. He later jokingly dismissed the notion his girlfriend Maria Perello would be bothered by it, saying it was a part of his job.

The music video for Shakira’s song Gypsy (Gitana in the Spanish version), part of her album She Wolf, was released in early 2010. Nadal starred as the singer’s love interest, grabbing eyeballs. This came as a surprise to many tennis fans since he was known as someone shy and reserved.

The music video, and the song itself, met with positive reception. Many media outlets praised the chemistry between Nadal and Shakira, calling it ‘flirty’. Some publications like HuffPost called the video ‘steamy’.

A few months later, Rafael Nadal talked about shooting the video with Shakira. The interviewer sarcastically remarked it looked like a tough job to romance the superstar Grammy winner. The Spaniard laughed and said it was not difficult. The interviewer then enquired whether Nadal had shown the video to his girlfriend, whom he had been dating for five years at that point, and how she received it since it was a very ‘sexy’ video. With a big grin, the 22-time Grand Slam champion said there were no issues.

“No problem, that’s part of the job.”

Even though Nadal was dating Perello since 2005, some tabloid rumours suggested he was romantically involved with Shakira after this video. However, she would soon go on to date soccer star Gerard Pique, who is also on good terms with Nadal. The couple first met during the making of her very next video, Waka Waka. This, combined with Nadal’s dismissal of his music video as nothing but a day’s work, quashed all speculations.

Shakira revealed why she wanted Rafael Nadal to star in the Gypsy music video

A few weeks after the official music video for Gypsy, Shakira uploaded a behind-the-scenes video on YouTube. The word is often used to colloquially describe a person with a nomadic lifestyle, always on the move. The Colombian pop star felt it described her and reflected her lifestyle. She said she is always travelling for her work and living in different cultures, making her feel like a gypsy.

Shakira revealed the reason she reached out to Rafael Nadal to star in the video was because she felt he also lives a similar nomadic lifestyle. She said she ‘identified’ with how Nadal’s career made him travel across the world and he achieved great things doing so. Of course, him being good-looking helped Shakira make the decision.

“When I thought of including someone in this video, I wanted this person to be someone I felt identified with, someone who had travelled the world and had to fight many battles and give the best in himself to achieve something. So I thought of Rafael Nadal because he is also a person who started his career very, very young and pursued his own goals. Also, he’s very good looking.”

How Much Does The Jannik Sinner Alfa Romeo Car Cost?

Ever since Jannik Sinner won the Australian Open 2024, the Italian star can’t get enough attention from the press. In his most recent interview with Vanity Fair, the 22-year-old revealed the only gift he gave himself. It’s a car that most would dream of having. And yet it’s not one of the topmost expensive ones like the Maserati, Lamborghini, or Ferrari. Sinner was clear on pointing that out. Here’s how much his car cost and what’s his relationship with money.

During the Vanity Fair interview, Jannik Sinner was asked a series of questions. Here’s one that made him reveal his fondness for cars.

Owing to this respect of money, Sinner hasn’t showered himself with gifts. Instead, he bought just one thing – an Alfa Romeo Stelvio Q4 Veloce. Alfa Romeo is an Italian luxury car manufacturer based out of Milan, and Sinner chose a model from a company in his native country. Many reviewers on YouTube have compared this model to the BMW B58 and the BMW X3, both not as good as this Alfa Romeo model. This model has a 280-horsepower best-in-class, 0.15 second torque disbursement time Q4 AWD, and 5.5 seconds to go from 0-60 km/h, also best-in-class.

The price of the 2024 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Q4 Veloce in the US market starts from $47,545 and goes up to $59,245 depending on the customization and options. In UK, it costs similar, as it ranges from £45,595 to £56,396. The model that Jannik Sinner drives though, costs a little bit higher than usual. Its price ranges somewhere between $57,000 and $76,000. Sinner drove this around, after the 2023 ATP Finals in Turin.

At age 22, with a Grand Slam already under his belt, Jannik Sinner has accumulated $$19,579,723 in prize money earnings from his tennis career. His net worth is estimated to be somewhere around $15 million. For the Australian Open win, Sinner took home $2,130,975 in prize money.

How does Jannik Sinner’s choice of car somehow contradict his passion for F1?

Jannik Sinner has been a friend of F1, officially for a few years now. He is a huge admirer and passionate follower of the sport. He also loves Lewis Hamilton, someone who he admires so much that he wishes to swap lives with. Hamilton raced for the Mercedes team for more than a decade. However, with his recent move to Ferrari, Sinner is likely to follow him even more since the tennis star is a Ferrari fan too. However, despite that association with Ferrari and that he visited the Ferrari museum once, Sinner would always pick Alfa Romeo over it. As a matter of fact, he will always pick Alfa Romeo over any other car for personal use.

There is something about that Italian luxury brand that he finds a deep association with. Sinner enjoys watching F1 a lot in his spare time, and in the future, he will get to work with them a lot. With Hamilton there from now onwards, Sinner can’t wait for this association to start.

How Roger Federer Inspired World’s Most Popular Film Star Worth $770,000,000 Who Owns $1.1 Billion Sports Empire Today https://thesportsrush.com/tennis-news-how-roger-federer-inspired-one-of-the-worlds-most-popular-film-star-worth-770000000-with-1-1-billion-sports-empire-today/ Tue, 20 Feb 2024 16:24:56 +0000 https://thesportsrush.com/?p=652369 Roger Federer has arguably transcended tennis and impacted various kinds of people across the world.

Roger Federer has arguably transcended tennis and impacted various kinds of people across the world. Indian film star Shah Rukh Khan is one of them. Khan once revealed he borrowed some elements of his work ethic from Roger Federer. The Swiss icon’s philosophy has contributed to the legendary actor now owning a sports empire worth over a billion dollars.

Shah Rukh Khan is one of the biggest movie superstars in the world, commanding legions of fans across the globe. A 2006 report claimed that 3.2 billion people in the world knew who he was, compared to only 2.7 billion for Tom Cruise (Economic Times). More recently, he won the 2023 TIME100 poll, beating other megastars like Lionel Messi, Beyonce, and Mark Zuckerberg. Readers voted for the person they believed was most deserving of featuring on Time’s annual list of 100 most influential people. Hence, winner ‘SRK’ did feature in the 2023 edition.

Back in 2008, Khan spoke to the media about his foray into sports business. He had just purchased a franchise in the then newly-founded Indian Premier League (IPL), the leading cricket tournament in the country. He explained the three pillars that drove his work ethic, saying he aims for success without letting minor hiccups hamper him. Khan said he looks up to Roger Federer and Amitabh Bachchan, the biggest Indian actor of the 1970-80s (Hindustan Times).

“My life has three simple tenets – work hard, don’t think bad about others, and be honest to yourself. The point is, don’t be caught up in small things, go for success. If you are a player, be like Roger Federer, and if you are an actor be like Amitabh Bachchan.”

His franchise, the Kolkata Knight Riders, is the third-most successful team in the IPL. The tournament itself has become the second-most valuable sports league in the world, estimated to be worth $10.9 billion, despite being only a two-month event (ET). Khan’s franchise has a brand value of $78.6 million.

The IPL’s success has seen similar cricket leagues sprout in other countries, and investors followed. Khan, too, owns the Los Angeles Knight Riders in Major League Cricket, Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in International League T20, and the Trinbago Knight Riders in the Caribbean Premier League. Like his inspiration Federer, Khan’s shrewd business decisions have seen the Knight Riders sports empire grow to a valuation of $1.1 billion (DNA).

Roger Federer fan Shah Rukh Khan congratulated him for 2017 Australian Open win

Shah Rukh Khan is largely popular in the USA as well. Certain reports claimed he was to star alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in a Martin Scorsese-produced action flick. While that never materialised, he has shot for many Bollywood projects in the USA, developing a sizeable fanbase. He has been called the Roger Federer of Indian cinema by some (News18), drawing parallels between their gentleman image, constant ambition to do better, and global fan following.

Evidently, ‘King Khan’ as he is popularly known, is a big fan of Roger Federer. When the Swiss legend defeated eternal rival Rafael Nadal in five gruelling sets to win the 2017 Australian Open, Shah Rukh Khan took to Twitter to congratulate him. He called the ATP legend an inspiration, also hailing his opponent.

Backed by his Knight Riders empire, and a host of other investments and endorsements, Shah Rukh Khan’s net worth is a whopping $770 million (Forbes). Not only does this figure outdo his inspiration Federer, who is worth around $550 million, it also makes him the fourth-richest actor in the world. Only Jerry Seinfeld, Tyler Perry, and Dwayne Johnson lead him. Khan leaves behind the likes of Tom Cruise, Jackie Chan, and George Clooney.

The long-standing discussion over improved payouts for ATP players had almost taken an ugly turn in January 2018, and its repercussions had a huge impact on Novak Djokovic. Djokovic reportedly appealed to over 150 players to go on strike, a movement that some stars like Roger Federer opposed.

Djokovic, then president of the ATP Player Council, chaired a meeting with around 150 top players and the administrators of the sport. Held just days before the 2018 Australian Open, it failed to reach an amicable conclusion. The officials were asked to leave the room early for some players-only talks.

Speaking to his contemporaries, Novak Djokovic reportedly called for a boycott of the 2019 Australian Open and the formation of a rebel association. As per The Guardian, the Serb wished to increase the overall prize money offered to players. However, he also wanted to end the tradition of Grand Slams offering equal prize money to men and women. Andy Murray strongly opposed this.

Roger Federer agreed with Djokovic’s motion that prize money needs to be increased, especially for lower-ranked players. However, he was staunchly against extreme steps like a strike or directly pointing fingers at the administrators. Speaking to The Guardian, one official labelled Djokovic ‘mad’, saying talk of boycott is nonsense.

“He’s mad if he thinks this is going to succeed. It makes no sense.”

The main concern of these players was that professionals below a certain ranking, usually those outside the top 100-120, do not make sufficient money. Novak Djokovic wished to address that with an overall increased prize pool. He would ultimately establish the Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA) a couple of years later. Making tennis accessible and profitable for lower-ranked players is one of the main directives of the new organisation. Another issue the PTPA wishes to address is how the ATP manages both players and tournaments. They want to become a player-only body to remove this conflict of interest.

However, men’s tennis activity still comes under the ATP’s purview. The PTPA does not yet have a directly influential or controlling power. However, Djokovic and his team played an important role in the introduction of the ATP’s Baseline program. The World No.1 has been relentless in his efforts to get more money into players’ pockets.

Federer, and Rafael Nadal, meanwhile, have firmly been on ATP’s side, also slamming Djokovic for creating the PTPA. This has led many fans to accuse the duo of being the association’s mouthpieces and not doing much to help their fellow players. They have advocated improved, and even equal, pay but have not been as vocal and proactive as Novak Djokovic.

In tennis, several rivalries have been born over the years. None more so consequential than the ones between the Big Three players i.e. Rafael Nadal vs Roger Federer, Roger Federer vs Novak Djokovic, and Rafael Nadal vs Novak Djokovic. The last one has its endearing place in tennis history. It only increased after both of them hired their respective coaches. This is how Nadal’s and Djokovic’s coaches somehow impacted their rivalry.

In December 2016, Rafael Nadal hired Carlos Moya, former World No. 1 and winner of the Roland Garros in 1998, as his coach. Three years later in 2019, Novak Djokovic hired Goran Ivanisevic as his coach. Ivanisevic will always remain the only player to win a Grand Slam as a wildcard entry when he won the 2001 Wimbledon.

Interestingly, Ivanisevic and Djokovic have more in common. Ivanisevic once ran out of bats during a match after smashing it multiple times. Djokovic too has an unenviable record of smashing his racket 62 times in his career, something that Nadal has never done.

But Rafael Nadal has not only beaten Novak Djokovic but also Goran Ivanisevic, that too twice. Both the wins were before Nadal turned 18. Ivanisevic is a legend in his own right but his losses against Nadal came back into popular consciousness after Nadal fans used them to fuel the Nadal-Djoker rivalry.

The first Nadal vs Ivanisevic clash first took place at the 2003 Miami Open. It was the second round match of the top half, when Rafael Nadal faced a then-aging, Goran Ivanisevic. Nadal was three months shy of turning 18, and Ivanisevic was more than 32 years old. Still, Ivanisevic had more experience. The match wasn’t completed since Ivanisevic was retired hurt. But Rafael Nadal won the first set 6-4, and no more set was played. Nadal got a walkover. It was still a major win for the youngster.

They met again a month later at the Estoril Open in Portugal. This time it was the first-round encounter and Ivanisevic had the perfect opportunity to take his revenge on the youngster. Nadal, who still wasn’t officially 18, beat Ivanisevic 6-4, 6-1 in the match and took a 2-0 lead in their head-to-head. Nadal winning both those matches was considered a huge upset back then.

Why was Rafael Nadal beating Goran Ivanisevic important to the Nadal-Djokovic rivalry?

Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic have faced each other 59 times in their career. Djokovic just leads the head-to-head count with 30 wins over Nadal’s 29 wins. In 2019, when Djokovic and Ivanisevic got together as a player-coach duo since his previous coach Marian Vajda didn’t just want to coach one player in the Grand Slams. It was a good move and it helped Djokovic perform well. But when an active Rafael Nadal is still playing, and he defeated the coach of his rival before he was 18, it is bound to get some traction.

Interestingly, Novak Djokovic also played against Nadal’s coach and former No. 1 player Carlos Moya. They met four times, with the honors split 2-2 among them. Djokovic doesn’t lead in this aspect and hence it didn’t create as much hype as Nadal beating Ivanisevic did. Rafael Nadal might be back for the French Open 2024, to which Djokovic said that he will still be a threat.

The Rio Open 2024 is set to kick off with a blockbuster match in the first round. Carlos Alcaraz is the biggest draw of the event and fans are expected to flock in large numbers to watch the Carlos Alcaraz vs Thiago Moura Monteiro clash. The duo are tied 1-1 on head-to-head, which adds a bit of spice to the rivalry.

Alcaraz is yet to win a title since the Wimbledon win in July 2023. The Spaniard has had a slow start to the 2024 season. The 20-year-old lost to Alexander Zverev in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open and later suffered a shock loss against Nicolas Jarry in the semi-final of the Argentina Open. Now, the Spanish superstar will be keen to get his hands on a trophy, starting with his match against Monteiro.

Thiago Moura Monteiro is a 29-year-old Brazilian player. The World No.117 has had a tough start to the season as he failed to qualify for the Australian Open. However, now with the home crowd behind him, the Brazilian will be keen to impress at the Rio Open. The 29-year-old will look to claim the biggest win of his career in the Carlos Alcaraz vs Thiago Moura Monteiro match.

Although Monteiro will be backed by a vibrant home crowd, Alcaraz will start as the heavy favorite. The Spanish star will be keen to get things right and win his first trophy in 2024. The SportsRush predicts Carlos Alcaraz to win in straight sets. According to Pokerstars, Alcaraz has his odds set at 1.05, compared to Monterio at 7.50.

The Carlos Alcaraz vs Thiago Moura Monteiro will be played at 7 pm local time (5 pm ET) on Tuesday, 2oth February. The weather is expected to be around 23 degrees Celsius with clear skies. Also, the match will be telecasted live on Tennis Channel across the United States.

Right alongside the Qatar ExxonMobil Open, the Rio Open 2024 is ready to roll in another part of the world. The Brazil-based ATP Tour 500 tournament has its list of players ready and the schedule is already out. In the bottom half of the draw, it will be Nicolas Jarry vs Yannick Hanfmann in the first round on Tuesday. Jarry is the 4th seeded player in the competition, whereas Carlos Alcaraz is the top seed.

The Nicolas Jarry vs Yannick Hanfmann match will take place on the clay courts of the Jockey Club Brasileiro in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The match will start at 7:00 pm local time (3.50 PM ET).

Nicolas Jarry reached the fourth round of the French Open last year, which remains his best Grand Slam performance to date. All of his other Grand Slam best performances are also from 2023. This shows his rise in professional tennis in recent times. Besides that, Jarry also won two ATP titles in 2023 – The Chile Open and The Geneva Open, where he beat Tomas Etcheverry and Grigor Dimitrov in the finals respectively. Most recently, he reached the finals of the 2024 Argentina Open, defeating Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-final, 7-6 (7-2), 6-3. Needless to say, at rank 21, Nicolas Jarry has been playing some terrific tennis over the last couple of years.

Yannick Hanfmann, on the other hand, has gone to the farthest in Grand Slams when he reached the second round of the French Open last year. At the Chile Open last year, which Jarry won, Hanfmann reached the quarter-final. He also entered the semi-final of the 2023 US Men’s Clay Court Championships. Hanfmann is particularly good on clay courts, with a staggering 16-10 win-loss ratio in 2023. He is currently ranked 56th in the ATP world rankings.

Considering all fronts, The SportsRush predicts Jarry to win the Nicolas Jarry vs Yannick Hanfmann contest. Jarry is just in better form and has won more titles than Hanfmann.

Nicolas Jarry vs Yannick Hanfmann previous match-ups analysis

Nicolas Jarry and Yannick Hanfmann have played against each other thrice in the past. The first time was at the 2022 Swiss Open in Gstaad, where Jarry beat Hanfmann 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (7-2). The next time was at the Chile Dove Men+Care Open in Santiago, where Jarry won again, this time by 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. Their last encounter was at the 2023 Italian Open, when finally Yannick Hanfmann beat Nicolas Jarry 6-4, 6-4. The ratio remains 2-1, with Jarry in the lead.

As per BetMGM, the odds of Nicolas Jarry winning this match is -200, and of Yannick Hanfmann is +155. Jarry is the favorite to win. The match will stream live online on Tennis TV. For the American audience, it will be streamed on Tennis Channel and Sky Sports for the British viewers. The weather in Rio is slightly on the warmer side. The temperature will be 32 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 km/h and 82% humidity. It is sweltering heat in which both of them will play. There is no chance of rainfall and it promises to be a great match.

The 2024 Los Cabos Open is the eighth edition of the Mexico-based ATP Tour 250 series, where the players have already lined up for their matches. One of the first-round matches will be Taro Daniel vs Marcos Giron in the bottom half of the Open. The winner of the match will play fourth-seeded Casper Ruud in the second round, who already got a ‘Bye’.

The Taro Daniel vs Marcos Giron match will take place on the outdoor hard courts of Cabos, Baja California Sur. The match will start in the evening, right after Miomir Kecmanovic vs Rinky Hijikata match at 7.20 PM ET, Tuesday, 20th February.

Taro Daniel reached the third round of the Australian Open in 2022 for the first time in his career. It remains his best Grand Slam performance to date. He has been in terrific form of late, with 2023 being the best season of his career. Daniel reached two Masters third rounds and finished the year within the Top 75. In 2024, Daniel reached the final of the 2024 ASB Classic, defeating top-seeded Ben Shelton. He entered the Top 60 for the first time, and his ranking now is 63.

Marcos Giron is the next American sensation in tennis. Defying all odds, Giron reached the finals of the Dallas Open 2024. He defeated better-ranked and top-seeded players Frances Tiafoe (6-1, 6-4) and Adrian Mannarino (6-1, 6-3) in the quarter-final and semi-final. He eventually lost in the final to fellow American player Tommy Paul by 6-7 (3-7), 7-5, 3-6.

Giron continued his exemplary performance in the Delray Beach Open as well but lost to Taylor Fritz this time in the semi-finals. The score was 7-6 (10-8), 6-2. With his rising stardom and superior gameplay, he will be a force to reckon with for Daniel. He ranks 52 in the ATP rankings.

With the current form, better rankings, and performances, The Sports Rush predicts Giron to win the Taro Daniel vs Marcos Giron contest.
