London (UK): Cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar was present at Centre Court during the first men's singles semi-final of Wimbledon 2025 on Friday. The match featured Spain's Carlos Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz of the United States.

Wimbledon took to their official social media handle and shared a post with a photo of Tendulkar.

"The Little Master graces Centre Court. Wonderful to have you at #Wimbledon, @sachintendulkar, @RalphLauren," Wimbledon wrote on X.

Sachin Tendulkar also took to X and shared his photo with Tennis legends like Bjorn Borg and Roger Federer.

Earlier on Thursday, a portrait of Indian great Sachin Tendulkar was unveiled in the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) Museum before play on the opening day of the England versus India third Test match at Lord's.

The portrait, by artist Stuart Pearson Wright, will remain in the MCC Museum until later this year when it will be relocated to the Pavilion.
