Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar shared an emotional message for tennis great Roger Federer after the two sporting icons reunited during the Wimbledon Championships.

Taking to X after their meeting at the All England Club, Tendulkar reflected on their long-standing friendship.

"Some rallies never end. Our friendship is one of them. Always a pleasure spending time with you, Roger. Until we meet again," Tendulkar wrote. The reunion came during another memorable visit to Wimbledon for the former India batter, who was among the distinguished guests invited to watch Friday's semi-final from the prestigious Royal Box. Also present was India Test and ODI captain

Shubman Gill

, who 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 great

Brian Lara

, bringing back memories of one of cricket's most celebrated rivalries. Although the two once battled fiercely on the international stage, they have since featured together in exhibition and charity matches.

Gill also appeared to enjoy the occasion, taking a break from international commitments to soak up the atmosphere on Centre Court. The star-studded guest list also included Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk and Leeds United chairman Paraag Marathe, with several prominent names from the sporting world attending the Championships. On the court, Alexander Zverev booked his place in the Wimbledon final for the first time with a convincing 7-6(0), 6-2, 6-4 victory over British wildcard Arthur Fery. The second seed overcame a competitive opening set before taking complete control of the contest on Centre Court. Fresh from winning his maiden 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 victory away from securing a second successive major title.
