Rohit’s visit to the iconic Centre Court came during his vacation in London, following his recent triumph of leading the Indian team to their first T20 World Cup title in 17 years.
Former Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik was also spotted enjoying the Wimbledon action on Friday.
Earlier, the Wimbledon Centre Court witnessed a special moment when the announcer acknowledged the presence of cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar, hailing him as a World Cup winner and the highest run-scorer in the history of the sport.
The semi-final matches at Wimbledon promise intense battles as players vie for a spot in the final and a chance to etch their names in tennis history.
Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, aged 21, aims to reach his fourth Grand Slam final and potentially join an elite group by winning both the French Open and Wimbledon consecutively.
Despite facing challenges at Wimbledon this year, including tough matches against Frances Tiafoe and Ugo Humbert, Alcaraz holds a 4-2 advantage over his semi-final opponent, Daniil Medvedev, whom he defeated at last year’s US Open. Medvedev, on the other hand, seeks his seventh Grand Slam final appearance after defeating top-seed Jannik Sinner.
In the other semi-final, Novak Djokovic, the seven-time Wimbledon champion, is eyeing his 10th final at the prestigious tournament. At 37 years old, he has the potential to become the oldest modern-era champion, following recent knee surgery.
Djokovic received a semi-final berth after Alex de Minaur’s withdrawal and will face Lorenzo Musetti, against whom he holds a 5-1 record, including a dramatic five-set victory at the French Open last month. Musetti, 22, has shown promise and resilience, having pushed Djokovic to the limit in previous encounters.
