Roger Federer will need a special role should the BBC recruit him to feature on their Wimbledon broadcasting team, according to a fellow ex-pro.
It was first reported by The Telegraph last Friday that Federer was in talks to assume a role at SW19 from a perspective different to what he was accustomed to as a player. 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 with television viewers throughout the magical Wimbledon fortnight.
However, the 20-time Grand Slam champion has already received some advice from a fellow retired-pro-turned-pundit, as Alex Corretja told Express Sport that the 41-year-old should only take on a role at the All-England Club if it’s as “special” as he is instead of calling matches from a commentary booth.
