Will Roger Federer replace Boris Becker at the BBC?

Accordingly, the public television station always engages former top-tier tennis greats as experts who analyze games on site. These include John McEnroe, Billie Jean King, Martina Navratilova – and Boris Becker.

The latter may have already accompanied his last match in London as an expert. Baker, who was sentenced to prison in Great Britain about a year ago, has not been allowed into the country since his release. According to a report by Sport Bild, the BBC is already looking for a replacement.
