Who is Gigi Salmon?
Gigi Salmon started her career as a sports presenter at Radio Oxygen back in September 1997. After spending a couple of years there, the journalist joined talkSPORT as a sports newsreader and reporter.
The Oxford Brookes University graduate then joined Chelsea Football Club, presenting on Chelsea TV.
Shortly after that, Salmon started commentation for Radio Wimbledon under the All England Lawn Tennis Club.
Her Live@Wimbledon commentating started in January 2012 and has continued ever since.
Meanwhile, she works as a freelance sports broadcaster for a number of companies including Sky Sports and BBC Sport, and co-hosts the TENNISH podcast alongside Naomi Cavaday, a former British professional tennis player.
This year, she will be a part of the BBC Sport team, covering all the exciting highlights of Wimbledon.
Her management company, Decibel, cites her as “one of the world’s leading female tennis commentators”, shining a light on her work for the Olympic Broadcast Services at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games and the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games, as well as the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio.
Salmon, a fluent French speaker, isn’t incredibly active on Instagram, but she occasionally shares some behind-the-scenes photos with her 2,253 followers — and on Twitter, where she has more than 72,000 followers.
