According to reports, tennis legend Roger Federer is in “advanced talks” about making a sensational comeback to Wimbledon to commentate matches for the BBC. At the Laver Cup in London last year, the Swiss legend announced his retirement from competitive play at the age of 41.
Since then, there has been much discussion about what he might attempt next. Additionally, The Telegraph reports that the eight-time Wimbledon champion might return to SW19 earlier than anticipated. According to the publication, talks about Federer representing the BBC at the prestigious tournament in the near future are progressing favorably.
Federer would undoubtedly be popular with the public because of his incredible playing career. He is arguably the most well-liked player to have ever played on the courts in south London, so getting him on board for the BBC would be a major accomplishment. After Sue Barker left her position as presenter last year, the broadcaster is in need of a significant overhaul. Fans can anticipate seeing a ton of new faces when the tournament resumes this July because it’s thought that a new studio is being built.
