Nick Kyrgios is joining the BBC’s Wimbledon commentary team for this summer’s tournament. This move comes as Kyrgios has been sidelined with injuries and has played just one match in the last 18 months. Despite his reduced playing activity, Kyrgios has been active in broadcasting, having previously commentated for Tennis Channel and Eurosport.
His addition to the BBC’s lineup is seen as a way to bring a fresh, outspoken perspective to the coverage, although some have raised concerns about his past controversies. Kyrgios’ appointment also suggests that he may not be ready to return to competition at Wimbledon this summer.
Nick Kyrgios was the runner-up at Wimbledon in 2022. He lost to Novak Djokovic in the final with a score of 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (3). This was Kyrgios’s first Grand Slam singles final.
