Wimbledon grand slam

All England Club: Two-time Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra praised tennis legend Roger Federer, calling him a true champion not just for his brilliance on the court but also for being a kind person.

Chopra, who was present at the Centre Court of All England Club to witness the men's singles final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, recalled the era of Federer who holds the record for most grass-court Grand Slams with eight titles including five successive Championships from 2003 to 2007.

"I’m feeling very good. This is my first tennis tournament - and that too, Wimbledon - so I’m really enjoying it. I remember when Federer used to win, he would wear that grass coat, and we knew a little bit about the tradition - that the whole dress code is white. I used to feel very good watching that," the javelin star told Star Sports.
