World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz Garfia ended Serbian Novak Djokovic's reign at Wimbledon 2023 to win his maiden title at the prestigious sporting event on Sunday, July 16. The win came after an intense five-set battle where the Spanish tennis player came out on top with a 1-6, 7-6(6), 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 victory at the All-England Club, with the match lasting hours and 42 minutes on the Centre Court. With Carlos Alcaraz winning the illustrious championship, Tamil cinema fans were in for an unexpected big surprise when the official Wimbledon Twitter page posted a special graphic artwork referencing 'Thalapathy' Vijay's Master second look poster.
The Wimbledon Twitter account shared the special version of Carlos Alcaraz's picture in the form of the Master second look poster in which Vijay would be seen looking back and shushing while surrounded by young boys amidst a juvenile school backdrop. In Wimbledon's latest post, we see a graphic artwork of Carlos Alcaraz with the Master poster used as a reference, which has since also been retweeted by the 2021 blockbuster film's director Lokesh Kanagaraj. Sharing their artwork of Carlos Alcaraz using 'Thalapathy' Vijay's Master second look poster as a reference, the Wimbledon Twitter page wrote, "MASTER 🔥 A NEW 🤴 OF #Wimbledon (sic)".
