Abstract
We explicitly show the area law behavior of a circular Wilson loop in confi ning theories from supergravity. We calculate the correlator of two Wilson loops from supergravity in confining backgrounds. We find that it is domina ted by an exchange of a "scalarball" that is lighter than the glueballs. We interpret these results in terms of the meson-meson potential in such theo ries.
