CHENNAI: Apart from Sachin Tendulkar, actor Dhanush has also become one of the celebrities who praised the French Open tennis champion Rafael Nadal who clinched his 14th French Open title and a record-extending 22nd Grand Slam trophy after beating Casper Ruud 6-3, 6-3, 6-0 in the final of the tournament.
The actor took to the micro-blogging platform Twitter and shared a picture of Rafael with a caption, "#vamos #22".
Nadal, who will rise to No 4 in the ATP Rankings on Monday, moved past Top 10 stars Felix Auger-Aliassime, Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev to set a first ATP Head to Head meeting with World No. 8 Ruud.
"For me personally, it is very difficult to describe the feelings that I have. It is something that I have never believed. To be here at 36, being competitive again on the most important court of my career," Nadal said during the trophy ceremony.
On the work front, the actor who appeared briefly in Russo Brother's 'The Gray Man' trailer has other upcoming projects that includes, Mithran Jawahar's Thiruchitrambalam, Venky Alturi's Vaathi/Sir, Arun Matheswaran's Captain Miller, Selvaraghavan's Naane Varuven and Aayirathil oruvan sequel.
