By posing between Roger Federer and Bjorn Borg at Wimbledon, Sachin Tendulkar stole the show. He dubbed it a “Grand Slam sandwich”—a momentous fusion of tennis and cricket that will live on in the memory of cricket enthusiasts.
Cricket and tennis royalty gathered in style on Friday at the All England Club, where Indian cricket superstar Sachin Tendulkar was surrounded by Bjorn Borg and Roger Federer. The 50-year-old added a hilarious spin to the situation by describing the picture as the focal point of a “Grand Slam sandwich.” Fans of both sports are ecstatic when the post went viral after being posted on his social media accounts.
In the famous photo, Sachin is positioned between Borg, the Swedish mastermind who won five Wimbledon titles and eleven Grand Slam titles, and Roger Federer, the 20-time Grand Slam champion and eight-time Wimbledon victor. Sachin’s caption, which combined the two tennis greats’ 31 Grand Slam victories, was a sweet mix of humor and appreciation.
What’s sweeter than strawberries & cream at Wimbledon? 🍓 🎾

In the heart of a Grand Slam sandwich—what could be better than strawberries and cream at Wimbledon? Sachin captioned the photo.
Tendulkar was present at Wimbledon with his wife Anjali and daughter Sara to witness the much awaited men’s singles semifinal between American sensation Taylor Fritz and reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz. He was spotted catching up with Federer and Borg in the Royal Box, a location designated for dignitaries and sports elites, after the match.
Two international fan bases have come together to celebrate the unique combination of tennis and cricket superstars in a single image thanks to the viral post.
Sachin’s hectic and well-publicized week in London continues with his debut at Wimbledon. Prior to the commencement of the third Test match between India and England at Lord’s, he created news by attending the unveiling of his portrait at the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) Museum, a noteworthy honor bestowed upon him. A ceremonial privilege granted to cricketing greats, Tendulkar also received the honor of ringing the famous Lord’s bell to announce the start of the day’s play.
