Andy Roddick Will Debut As A Tennis Commentator For The BBC During Wimbledon
- 14 Comments
The BBC announced today that it has hired former No. 1s Andy Roddick and Justine Henin to its slate of on-air personalities during the upcoming Wimbledon Championships.
Roddick, who has been part of the Fox Sports team in the U.S. since retiring from tennis in 2012, has never done any match tennis commentating.
“I’m honoured to join the BBC team for Wimbledon,” Roddick said. “The Championships will always have a special place in my heart, and I’m excited to come back to cover them.”
Roddick’s quick wit, knowledge of the sport and opinions should make the 3-time Wimbledon finalist a natural star behind the mic.
Love that @andyroddick is going to be commentating @Wimbledon this year. A-Rod is the man 👊✨

Added Henin, who will be on the radio, “I feel very excited. Wimbledon has produced a lot of memories for me and it’s great to be able to give something to the listeners.”
Roddick will be joined by John McEnroe, Tim Henman, Martina Navratilova, Pat Cash, Lindsay Davenport and Richard Krajicek.
