Nick Kyrgios will not be part of the BBC’s Wimbledon coverage this year, marking a significant change from his previous role as a pundit during the 2024 tournament. Reports indicate that the decision comes amid ongoing controversy surrounding the Australian tennis star, who has often been at the center of heated discussions both on and off the court.
The BBC’s move follows backlash over Kyrgios’ inclusion in last year’s coverage, particularly after his legal troubles became a focal point of public debate. His absence from the broadcaster’s lineup suggests a shift in approach, with ESPN also reportedly opting not to feature him in their Wimbledon programming.
Kyrgios, known for his outspoken nature and unpredictable playing style, had previously expressed interest in competing at Wimbledon again. However, injuries have continued to affect his participation in major tournaments, further complicating his return to the sport’s biggest stages.
While the BBC has not publicly detailed the reasons behind the decision, the exclusion of Kyrgios from this year’s coverage signals a change in direction for the network’s approach to tennis commentary. Whether he will return to broadcasting in the future remains uncertain, but his absence will undoubtedly be noticed by fans who have followed his career closely.
