Just hours ago, Shakira made an appearance at the Wimbledon semifinal. She was there to witness the clash between Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev. While that game turned out to be a nail-biter, the Waka?Waka singer?s support for Alcaraz was quite evident. On the other hand, her ex-boyfriend Gerard Pique and his company are still stuck in a legal battle with the International Tennis Federation.

Interestingly, one of Novak Djokovic?s videos has just gone viral on the internet. Back in 2016, the Serbian veteran paid homage to the Colombian singer while funnily showcasing a dance session.

The tennis universe witnessed a nail-biting clash between Alcaraz and Medvedev. An Alcaraz victory now means that he will face Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final. It was a slight surprise for the fanbase after Shakira turned up for the game. This is her second public appearance during her London trip, the first one was at the British Grand Prix last weekend.

The pop singer turned up for the game in a designer-blue denim outfit. Interestingly, her support for the Spanish tennis star was quite evident. Shakira was animated throughout the game. This isn?t the Colombian icon?s first appearance at a tennis event, as she had previously attended tennis games because her former partner, Gerard Pique, had a business tie-up with the ITF.

Some years ago, Pique?s company Kosmos signed a 25-year deal with the Davis Cup. It was worth $3 billion. After the soccer veteran managed to quadruple their income, COVID hit a year later. Unfortunately, the deal fell through after certain disagreements with a lawsuit to follow. Pique recently revealed that Kosmos is claiming up to $50 million as compensation.
