Nick Kyrgios Excluded from Wimbledon 2025 Commentary as Injury Sidelines Him

He responded to the BBC’s decision with public criticism, questioning its choice of a less experienced analyst

Overview

  • A lingering knee issue forced Kyrgios to withdraw from Wimbledon 2025 after earlier wrist surgery kept him off tour for much of the last two years.
  • The BBC opted not to bring him back as a commentator despite his acclaimed stints in their 2024 coverage and analysis roles for ESPN and Tennis Channel.
  • Kyrgios told The Guardian it was “strange” the BBC chose another voice over someone who has beaten Federer, Nadal, Murray and Djokovic.
  • Chris Eubanks denied any talks with the BBC and confirmed he will focus solely on competing at SW19 rather than stepping into the commentary box.
  • With his playing schedule on hold, Kyrgios is touring Australia, London and New York with his ‘Good Trouble’ podcast and eyeing a hard-court comeback at this year’s US Open.
