In addition to missing the tournament as a player, Kyrgios has also been excluded from both the BBC and ESPN’s commentary teams for Wimbledon. While the BBC has not offered a specific reason for his absence from their coverage, ESPN has reportedly chosen not to include him in their broadcast plans. This decision follows recent controversies surrounding Kyrgios, including his behavior on and off the court.
Kyrgios’ Wimbledon History
Kyrgios has a notable history at Wimbledon, marked by both exciting performances and controversial moments. His run to the final in 2022 was a career highlight, showcasing his immense talent and captivating playing style.
