Sue Barker insists she did not want to stop presenting BBC's Wimbledon coverage but maintains it was her decision to walk away.
Former tennis star Barker had hosted coverage of the championships from SW19 for 30 years before bowing out after the men's singles final between Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios.
The 66-year-old bid an emotional farewell to Wimbledon and admits it was a moment she would "treasure forever". Barker has revealed she could have stayed in the job for another three years but knew it was time to pass the baton on to someone else, with Clare Balding in line to replace her.
