Prayer Gesture

An Andy Murray fan reacts whilst watching the Australian Open Final between Great Britain's Andy Murray and Switzerland's Rodger Federer, at The Dunblane Hotel on January 21, 2010 in Dunblane , Scotland. Federer won the final in three sets.

This should not be confused with the high confidence steeple gesture.

Here we see a fan using this gesture -probably subconsciously- to give strength and possibly divine intervention... it likely gives her some inner peace during a stressful situation.

By placing the hands in front of her mouth it is also a clear sign she is not going to speak, at least for the time being. She may even be manipulating her bottom lip into a pout.◦
