Jack Sock, Eugenie Bouchard lose in mixed doubles at PPA Red Rock Open ... but are not out of the tournament

You have to love social media: Where else but Twitter could two of the biggest celebrities on the planet have a brief interaction in 280 characters or less? Roger Federer posted a photo seeking approval from one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars.

Hey @TheRock, am I doing the "Smoldering Intensity" right? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/5A5ILEXYNK

Dwayne Johnson, aka “The Rock,” responded, giving Federer the fist bump of approval.

When you’re the GOAT there is no wrong brother. Perfect form 😉👏🏾👊🏾

for those who don’t know.. “Smoldering Intensity” is one of my character’s strengths in #Jumanji. And like Roger, “Dr. Smolder Bravestone” has no weaknesses
🤣💪🏾 https://t.co/KdS76H1nec

Johnson, who’s made the transition from professional wrestling champ to box-office gold, is currently starring in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.

The film just knocked Star Wars: The Last Jedi out of the top spot at the box office. If Federer defends his title at the Australian Open and Rafael Nadal fails to reach the quarterfinals, the world No. 2 will have done the same to his rival in the rankings.
