Neeraj Chopra attends Wimbledon 2025 final, calls Roger Federer an inspiration

Federer is the most successful men’s singles player in Wimbledon history.

“Roger Federer has been a very tough competitor during his days. The way he has carried Switzerland's flag in the field of tennis, especially at Wimbledon. I have met him and the way he has maintained himself, brand value, family, it speaks a lot about that person,” Neeraj stated.

Neeraj and Federer, both ambassadors for Switzerland Tourism, met in Zurich last year and shared a warm interaction.

Federer presented Neeraj Chopra an autographed tennis racquet while the Indian handed the tennis legend a signed India jersey from the Asian Games.

Neeraj also picked Alcaraz as the favourite for Sunday’s final owing to the young Spaniard’s experiences with big matches at the iconic Centre Court. Alcaraz entered Sunday’s final as two-time defending champion.

Neeraj, who is married to former professional tennis player Himani Mor, was among the several Indian sports stars who were spotted at Wimbledon this year.

Cricket icon Virat Kohli was seen earlier in the tournament, attending Novak Djokovic’s fourth-round match from the Royal Box. He was accompanied by his wife, Anushka Sharma.

Sachin Tendulkar, a regular at Wimbledon, was spotted during the men’s singles semi-finals between Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz.

The Master Blaster was pictured posing between Federer and German tennis legend Björn Borg - a moment which he cheekily captioned ‘Grand Slam Sandwich’.
