Ally McCoist pays tribute to “the best” Sue Barker as she retires from Wimbledon

Ally McCoist has paid tribute to BBC tennis stalwart Sue Barker, after she called time on her broadcasting career following Sunday’s men’s Wimbledon final.

Barker bowed out after 30 years of covering the famous tournament after Novak Djokovic defeated Nick Kyrgios 3-1. An emotional Barker received a standing ovation from the Centre Court crowd on Sunday, as she came to the end of her very final broadcast.

The former tennis star has enjoyed a hugely successful presenting career, and has been the face of British tennis TV for three decades. The 1976 French Open champion also presented hit BBC Sport gameshow Question of Sport for 24 years, before calling time on her role in the show in 2020.
