Tendulkar doesn't find Sharapova Disrespectful
Maria Sharapova Wimbledon 2014 incident
Sachin Tendulkar, the wise man that he is, told NDTV that he didn't expect Maria Sharapova to know who he was since the Russian player didn't follow cricket.
He said: "Sharapova's comments were not disrespectful. She doesn't follow cricket."
A section of Tendulkar's fans created a massive hue and cry after media reports said the tennis Grand Slam champion wasn't aware of Tendulkar's name.
During Wimbledon, when Sharapova was asked at her post-match press conference is she knew that a cricket icon had come to see her play, the five-time Grand Slam champion said she had met David Beckham a few times but wasn't familiar with Tendulkar.
"Sachin Tendulkar was the other person who came in at the same time as David. Do you know who Sachin is?" The French Open winner flatly replied: "I don't."
Tendulkar is a regular visitor at the Royal Box during Wimbledon. He is a good friend of Roger Federer.

MCC vs RoW: Finch blitz takes MCC to seven-wicket win over RoW
The spotlight had been on the old stars in the teams but Aaron Finch has made the most of it by smashing 188* on this special occasion. It was all too easy for a man in form. He waited, played within himself at times, but hit is way out whenever he needed to.. He wasn't being tested enough. In between, Tendulkar and Lara played a few entertaining shots, turning the clock back a few years..ROW were handed a blow after Shane Warne fractured his arm during batting, and the other bowlers lacked incisiveness. ROW's batting had been similar - an innings lifted by a Yuvraj Singh century after Saeed Ajmal had almost made a mockery of the occasion by picking up wickets at will. All in all, the match was a great success in bringing all these players together..
