Roger Federer may be set to feature as part of BBC’s coverage of Wimbledon.
Federer is the tournament’s most successful player with eight titles and may be gearing up for a different role than he has been accustomed to at the All-England Club over the last two decades. Having bid an emotional farewell to the game of tennis at the Laver Cup last September, the Swiss maestro may have the opportunity to share his expert tennis knowledge for television viewers throughout the magical July fortnight.
The Telegraph has revealed talks are at an advanced stage regarding Federer’s recruitment as BBC look to revamp their production of the event. The publication reported the Swiss legend could split his time at SW19 across both the BBC and ESPN.
