- Nick Kyrgios will be at Wimbledon this summer
- He will be part of the BBC commentary team
- Kyrgios, 29, has played one official match in two years.
Nick Kyrgios will be part of the BBC’s Wimbledon coverage during this summer’s tournament.
The 29-year-old has played just one competitive match in the last two years due to knee and wrist injuries, but impressed in the commentary box during the Australian Open in January.
Kyrgios has indicated that his recovery is going well and that he will soon return to the court with “fire in his belly,” but according to The Sun, he will provide his insight from the sidelines this year.
The Australian worked at Eurosport at Melbourne Park this year but is expected to be at the BBC with the likes of Claire Balding, John McEnroe and Tim Henman.
Kyrgios has been exploring his options for life after tennis, with experts being an obvious route for stubborn talent. He also hinted at a possible sporting change, which could surprise fans.
Nick Kyrgios will be at Wimbledon this summer, as a commentator
The Australian star has played just one competitive match in two years.
He is likely to appear alongside John McEnroe in BBC coverage.
A fan asked the former world number 13 if he would accept a boxing fight and Kyrgios replied that he was very interested in the idea.
“Yes, I would, at the end of my tennis career,” Kyrgios said.
“There are a couple of people I would call.”
A fan then asked him if he would take on announcer Piers Morgan, who he had clashed with in the past.
‘No, we’re friends now!’ said the Australian.
Kyrgios’ divisive antics would make any boxing match he participates in a sure-fire moneymaker for promoters, and one person he might want to call attention to is his former archrival Bernard Tomic, who challenged him to a boxing match in 2022.
Tomic said he wanted to resolve the old grudge between the two with a game of tennis, or on the basketball court or in a boxing ring.
“First things first, let’s make things clear,” Tomic said in a video.
