Boris Becker has reportedly been snubbed for this summer’s Wimbledon coverage by the BBC. The tennis star was previously a regular on the BBC’s coverage, but has not worked for them since he was jailed in April 2022.
Becker was locked up for eight months after hiding £2.5million in assets and loans to avoid paying debts. The German was then deported from the United Kingdom and wasn’t able to apply for re-entry to the country until October 2024. With that date having passed, he was hoping to make a return to the All England Club this summer.
However, according to a report in The Daily Mail, Becker will not be heading to the capital to make up part of the BBC’s Wimbledon team, having been frozen out by the broadcaster. Becker first teamed up with the BBC in 2002 and established himself as a much-loved commentator, analyst and pundit across his two-decade-long stint.
