‘Grand Slam Sandwich’: Sachin Tendulkar Meets up Tennis Greats Federer and Borg at Wimbledon 2025

The cricket icon shares a viral moment at Wimbledon, standing between tennis legends Roger Federer and Bjorn Borg during the Alcaraz vs Fritz semi-final clash.

London | July 12, 2025 –
In a picture-perfect crossover of cricket and tennis royalty, Sachin Tendulkar stole the spotlight at Wimbledon 2025 by posing with Roger Federer and Bjorn Borg. The cricket legend stood between the two Grand Slam icons and humorously dubbed the moment a “Grand Slam sandwich” — a light-hearted caption that has since delighted fans across social media.

“What’s sweeter than strawberries & cream at Wimbledon…Finding yourself in the middle of a Grand Slam sandwich,” Tendulkar wrote, sharing the now-viral photo on X and Instagram.

Tendulkar, 50, attended the high-voltage men’s singles semi-final between defending champion Carlos Alcaraz and American hopeful Taylor Fritz, accompanied by his wife Anjali and daughter Sara. The Indian maestro later met Federer — an eight-time Wimbledon champion and 20-time Grand Slam winner — and Bjorn Borg — winner of 11 Grand Slam titles including five Wimbledon trophies — in the Royal Box, a space reserved for global sporting elites.

Tendulkar’s Wimbledon appearance capped off a memorable week in London. He earlier attended the unveiling of his portrait at the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) Museum at Lord’s — a prestigious honour — and was also chosen to ring the Lord’s bell ahead of play in the ongoing India-England Test.
