Sports and Cinema always go hand in hand. Both are among the most sought-after entertainments in the world. People indulge in sports and cinema equally for rejuvenation, whether it may be watching live on a weekend holiday or viewing at home at their own pace. Speaking of sports and cinema, many stars have married sports personalities, to name a few, Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli, Hazel Keech and Yuvraj Singh, and Lara Dutta and Mahesh Bhupathi. Besides, leading figures from both sectors of the global entertainment industry convene at opulent events to strengthen their relationship.
In this context, the Wimbledon Championships 2025 at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London is lit by stars on the stadium. This 138th edition of the grass court is the third Grand Slam event of 2025. Earlier, the Australian Open was played on hard courts in January, and the French Open or Roland Garros, was played on clay courts from May to June. The upcoming US Open, played on hard courts, will be held from August to September.
The Star vs. Star
The grass court was filled with twinkling and dazzling stars in London’s renowned tennis stadium. To watch the legendary tennis players on the field, silver screen stars accompanied by their significant others made everyone turn their heads. Well, this high-profile event, where stars have been watching Wimbledon, goes way back. In excerpts from past events, Hollywood actors Brad Pitt and Guy Ritchie graced the final day of Wimbledon during the 2023 men’s final, while action star Tom Cruise and Sherlock Holmes star Benedict Cumberbatch also featured at the event during the 2024 women’s final.
The Royals
