After their sexy video Latin lovely Shakira cheers Rafael Nadal to Wimbledon success

29 JUNE 2010

One Wimbledon fan not obsessed with Andy Murray's progress is Shakira.

The snake-hipped singer cheered on her pal Rafa Nadal, rising to her feet to applaud him during a straight-sets victory that took him into the quarter finals.

They've been friendly since the Spanish tennis ace starred in a sultry video for the Colombian bombshell.

Gypsy showing them writhing about provocatively together caused her a few problems with her longterm boyfriend Antonio de la Rua.

"Obviously it's not his favourite thing in the world to watch that video," she admitted. "But it's my job and part of what I do."

As Shakira witnessed her pal's majestic performance at the All England Club, Scotsman Andy was also having a good day.

The British number one cruised in to the last eight, bringing a little cheer to sports fans still down in the dumps after England's early World Cup departure.

 

Andy roared in celebration after completing his match at a packed centre court.

It may be that the visit of the Queen – her first in 33 years – last week has given the boost he needs. The 23-year-old is the only male competitor left not to drop a set so far.
