Dustin Hoffman and 'cricket royalty' Sachin Tendulkar among celebrities at
Wimbledon
LONDON (AP) --- American actor Dustin Hoffman and cricket great Sachin
Tendulkar were among the celebrities at Wimbledon on Friday to watch defending
champion Jannik Sinner play Novak Djokovic on Centre Court.
British actors Benedict Cumberbatch, Hugh Laurie and Damian Lewis watched from
the Royal Box, as did fashion designer Tom Ford and Anna Wintour.
Tendulkar, considered one of the greatest cricketers ever, retired in 2013
after playing in his 200th test match. Wimbledon called him " cricket royalty."
Another former cricket star, Brian Lara of the West Indies, was also in the
Royal Box, an area reserved for special guests invited by the All England Club.
Netherlands defender and Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk was also a guest.
The Dutch were eliminated at the World Cup in the round of 32.
The 88-year-old Hoffman wasn't in the Royal Box, though he was a guest there in
2024.
Earlier on Centre Court, Alexander Zverev advanced to Sunday's final by beating
British wild card Arthur Fery.
