Wimbledon 2026: With Alexander Zverev and Arthur Fery battling it out in the Wimbledon 2026 semi-final for a spot in the final, an Indian cricketing legend was spotted at the Royal Box watching the action unfold. Sachin Tendulkar, along with his wife, was spotted at the prestigious Royal Box, wearing a stylish attire as Zverev and Fery were in action.
Wimbledon 2026: When did Sachin Tendulkar first made an appearance in Wimbledon?
The batting legend made his first appearance at the Grass Court Grand Slam Event circa 2004 or 2005 and it was followed by receiving an invitation to the prestigious Royal Box in 2006. He became a regular attendee at the event following that. Tendulkar is the holder of several batting records, including the highest run-getter in both Tests and ODIs with 15921 and 18426, respectively. He is also the most capped player in the format, featuring in 200 Tests and 663 ODIs. Additionally, the former Indian cricketer has the most number of Test hundreds, aggregating 51 of them and is unlikely to be broke any time soon.

The 53-year-old has also featured for the Mumbai Indians in the IPL, captaining them in three seasons. Since retiring from the lucrative tournament, he has been serving as the mentor of the franchise. Among elite cricketers, West Indian great Brian Lara was also spotted during the semi-final between Zverev and Fery.
Wimbledon 2026: Who is currently ahead between Alexander Zverev and Arthur Fery?
At the time of writing this, Zverev had already won two sets, with the third in progress and the German was ahead by 3-2 in the third. Despite Fery’s promising run from being a wildcard, Zverev, who clinched the French Open 2026 title, started as an overwhelming favourite and is on track to emerging victorious.
The second semi-final will see seven-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic compete against Jannik Sinner in a clash of titans. Djokovic faces an acid test against Sinner, who is arguably one of the fastest emerging Tennis stars. The two players battled it out most recently in the Australian Open 2026 semi-final, with Djokovic emerging victorious 3–6, 6–3, 4–6, 6–4, 6–4 to end his five-match losing streak against Sinner. However, Sinner still holds a narrow head-to-head lead over the veteran, winning 6 out of 11 games.
