Catching up with X after their meeting at the All England Club, Tendulkar reflected on their long friendship. “Some events never end. Our friendship is one of them. Always a pleasure to spend time with you, Roger. Until we meet again,” Tendulkar wrote. The meeting came during another memorable visit to Wimbledon for the former Indian batsman, who was among the distinguished guests invited to watch Friday’s semi-final from the prestigious Royal Box. The India Test and ODI captain was also present Shubman Gillwho experienced Wimbledon from the Royal Box for the first time. Gill, currently in England with the Indian team, will return to cricket action later this month for the ODI series against England. One of the highlights of the day was Tendulkar’s interaction with West Indies batting big Brian Larabringing back memories of one of cricket’s most celebrated rivalries. Although the two fought fiercely on the international stage, they have since appeared together in exhibitions and charity matches. Gill also seemed to relish the occasion, taking a break from international commitments to soak up the atmosphere on Center Court. The star-studded guest list also includes Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk and Leeds United chairman Paraag Marathe, with many prominent names from the sporting world attending the Championships. On court, Alexander Zverev booked his place in the Wimbledon final for the first time with a convincing 7-6(0), 6-2, 6-4 win over British wildcard Arthur Fery. The second seed overcame a competitive opening set before taking full control of the contest on Center Court. Fresh from winning his first Grand Slam title at Roland Garros last month, Zverev has now reached his fifth major final and extended his winning streak in Grand Slam tournaments to 13 matches. He will now be one win away from securing a second consecutive major title.
