The world celebrated the international sports day on Sunday as British Grand Prix, Wimbledon and Cricket World Cup all was being held on the same day in London. The Wimbledon and Cricket World Cup both were quite exciting and thrilling and fans wanted to miss neither of them.
While Wimbledon men’s finals played between Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, was the longest men’s singles final in the history of the tournament, WC final between England and New Zealand ended in a tie and even super over also resulted in a tie. So both the games are registered in history and will be remembered forever.
What also be remembered in the coming years will a chat between Wimbledon and ICC’s Twitter handle. After the final Wimbledon tweeted, “Hello @ICC – how are you coping your end?” To which ICC replied, “Things are a bit hectic here right now, we’ll get back to you 😅”
