Wimbledon 2024 hasn’t just featured the very best tennis players in the world rocking up in south west London over the course of the Championships.
The BBC also has their very own star-studded lineup of presenters, commentators and pundits helping to bring the coverage into the living rooms of millions of viewers around the country.
But who exactly are those playing their part in the corporation’s Wimbledon coverage this year?
Let’s take a look at those looking to shine off the courts for the BBC…
Who are the Wimbledon presenters?
Isa Guha will be on presenting duties from 11am daily, taking viewers through the morning action from SW19.
The former England cricketer, who works on the BBC’s coverage of cricket, made her debut in the Wimbledon hot seat two years ago.
Veteran broadcaster Clare Balding will take the reigns from Guha in the afternoon in place of Sue Barker, who stepped down as the main presenter in 2022 after 22 years anchoring the BBC’s coverage of the tournament.
In the evenings, Qasa Alom will front the daily highlights show – Today at Wimbledon – while the wheelchair tennis coverage will be led by Andy Stevenson.
Who are the Wimbledon commentators?
Australian tennis stars Nick Kyrgios and Ash Barty have joined the BBC to provide unique expert analysis and commentary at Wimbledon 2024.
Completing the line-up behind the microphone will be Chris Bradnam, James Burridge, Pat Cash, Andrew Castle, Naomi Cavaday, Matt Chilton, Andrew Cotter, Annabel Croft, Katherine Downes, Jo Durie, Colin Fleming, Peter Fleming, Paul Hand, Dom Inglot, Abigail Johnson, Anne Keothavong, Robbie Koenig, David Law, Nick Lester, John Lloyd, Ronald Mcintosh, Alison Mitchell and Nick Monroe.
Nick Mullins, Pete Odgers, Arvind Parmar, Louise Pleming, Simon Reed, Candy Reid, Chanda Rubin, Sam Smith, Liz Smylie, Mel South and Todd Woodbridge are also on commentary duties while Jayant Mistry, Louise Hunt and Katie O’Brien will cover wheelchair tennis.
Who are the Wimbledon pundits?
The presenters will be joined in the studio by various tennis legends such as John McEnroe, Martina Navratilova, Billie Jean King and Pat Cash.
The likes of Tim Henman, Tracy Austin, Annabel Croft, Johanna Konta and Anne Keothavong will also be on hand to offer their insights both in the studio and in the commentary box.
Boris Becker, who was a mainstay in the BBC’s coverage before his spell in prison, will once again miss out as he is unable to return to England until October 2024.
Becker served eight months of his two-and-a-half year sentence for hiding £2.5m of assets and loans to avoid paying his debts and was released in December 2022.
