Sachin Tendulkar finds himself ‘in the middle of a Grand Slam sandwich'; India legend meets Roger Federer, Bjorn Borg
Taking to Instagram, Tendulkar posted a picture with the two. 'What's sweeter than strawberries & cream at Wimbledon? Finding yourself in the middle of a Grand Slam sandwich. @wimbledon @rogerfederer Björn Borg,' wrote Tendulkar as a caption.
Tendulkar's post delighted fans across the globe as it brought tennis and cricket in one frame. Swiss great Federer, who retired from tennis in 2022, has eight men's singles title at Wimbledon to his name.
On the other hand, Swedish tennis legend Borg emerged triumphant at SW19 five times in his career. Earlier, Tendulkar was seen at the Royal Box in an exciting day of tennis action watching Carlos Alcaraz beat Taylor Fritz to enter the final. Wimbledon took to their official social media handle and shared a post with a photo of Tendulkar.
"The Little Master graces Centre Court. Wonderful to have you at #Wimbledon, @sachintendulkar, @RalphLauren," Wimbledon wrote.
Earlier, Tendulkar had a special moment at the home of cricket when the 52-year-old unveiled his own portrait at the MCC musuem on Thursday. He became the fifth Indian after Dilip Vengsarkar, Bishan Singh Bedi, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and Kapil Dev to have their portraits at the home of cricket. He had also rung the Lord's bell before the third Test.
On the day, Carlos Alcaraz passed the Taylor Fritz test with a 6-4, 5-7, 6-3, 7-6 (8/6) win to enter his third consecutive Wimbledon men's singles final. He will either meet Novak Djokovic or Jannik Sinner in the summit clash. Among women, Iga Swiatek will take on Amanda Anisimova for the the ultimate prize.

Not just Jannik Sinner, these tennis players too suffered under the blistering heat and humidity of Cincinnati
Jannik Sinner mentioned a bit about the scalding heat at Cincinnati, the burning mid west oven, a week before US Open as he retired 0-5 to Carlos Alcaraz. But the Cinci cauldron had claimed others too. Punishing schedules and unreal high temperatures are taking a heavy toll on top tennis players, given some completed the Toronto / D.C – Cincinnati swing, and will head off to New York for the final Slam. French Arthur Rinderknech, had earlier collapsed on court during his match due to unbearable heat. Playing against Felix Auger-Aliassime in the third round, he was forced to retire from the match. Heat also got to Alexander Zverev, who was having an otherwise impressive campaign at Cincinnati Open but lost on Saturday after a 6-4, 6-3 defeat to world No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz in the semifinal. Zverev had earlier taken a medical timeout after bouts of dizziness and breathlessness that got aggravated due to high temperatures. Even in his quarters against Ben Shelton, though he was a set and a break up, he was seen suddenly summoning help and on-court medical attention. 'My head is spinning,' he was heard saying. 'I can't get any air into my lungs.' He had looked restless throughout and in visible agony stretching his muscles and winceing after each point which culminated in the timeout in the second set when he was 2-1 up. A 3 pm start to the Sinner final was almost a buffering sight as the Italian struggled in the final against Alcaraz and didn't look comfortable at all. He was left apologising to the fans, profusely. 'Usually I start with the opponent but today I have to start with you guys,' he said. 'I'm super, super sorry to disappoint you. From yesterday I didn't feel great. I thought I would improve during the night. It came up worse. I tried to come out and make it at least a small match but I couldn't handle more,' he said. Sinner was aware that some fans had set aside other work to watch him and Alcaraz go head to head. 'I'm very very sorry for all of you. I know some of you on Monday maybe had to work or do something else, so I'm very very sorry. 'Of course Carlos congrats. Another title. Not the way you wanted to win but it's amazing what kind of season you're producing,' he said of the Spaniard who with his superior fitness looks a favourite for New York, which is also reeling under extreme heat. 'You and your whole team are doing amazing. Keep it up. I wish you only all the best for the U.S. Open and the rest of the season.'
