From Sabatini and Del Potro to Tsitsipas and Azarenka: tennis players encourage Lionel Messi to become champion in Qatar

These days the world of sport looks almost exclusively to Qatar. And tennis is no exception. Football, the most popular sport, has numerous followers on the circuit and many of them have vibrated over the past month and are looking forward to what is to come on Sunday. Argentines, of course, are desperate for the possibility that Lionel Messi – their peers, moreover-, raise their long-awaited glass in Doha.

Among compatriots there is no shortage of football fans and many have appeared on their social networks to surrender to the team of Lionel Scaloni after the sensational victory in the semifinal against Croatia.

diego schwartzmann You mentioned Messi’s great game. “It’s the most expensive!!! I can’t find it anywhere. LIONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL”, posted with a spider emoji -by Julián Alvarez-, an Argentinian flag, a boxing glove and a heart.

Y Juan Martin del Potro, from an exclusive Caribbean island, highlighted the performances of the captain and Julián Alvarez, but also made a hilarious comment on a post by Dibu Martínez. “Let me forgive, please”, asked the man from Tandil, who underlined: “Scaloni’s human touch in inserting Dybala, Correa and Foyth. Masterclass”.

They too joined in the congratulations Frederick Coria (added Argentinian flags and hearts emoji to a photo of Messi), Nadia Podoroska (She wrote or rather insisted: “It’s not like us. It’s not like us. It’s not like us”, referring to a man from Rosario like her) and Gabriel Sabatini (“What a beautiful madness!!! Thanks guys!! Vamooooosss Argentinaaaaaa!!!”, he posted along with four photos of the team and more emojis of Argentine flags and hearts).

While David Nalbandian He posted a photo with his son Theo, both dressed in the national team shirt with the Lusail stadium behind them, even two top players expressed their encouragement to the national team, such as Stephen Tsitsipas Y Victoria Azarenkaand a former number 1 in the world: Kim Clijsters.

The Greek is one of those who has not hidden his love for Argentina since the beginning of the World Cup and after the match against Croatia he was one more (of the millions in the world) of those who ended up surrendering to the best footballer of the world. From his account @steftsitsipas wrote in English: “Messi is having the time of his life out there.” The Belarusian double Australian champion in 2012 and 2013 just pointed to @vika7: “Bravo”; so, in Spanish. And the Belgian put “Vamossssssssssss”, also in English, on @Clijsterskim.

But since there is everything in this world, it is worth noting what the French have done Richard Gasquet. The former top ten player, who spends his last cartridges on the circuit, played an exhibition in Caen and his match against the Danish Rune coincided with the semifinal between France and Morocco. “I’d rather beat Rune and not watch the game,” he replied when asked what he would do. No more questions, Your Honor…
