The BBC has revealed its broadcast team for Wimbledon 2025 and most of the familiar faces and voices will once again feature while a couple of former tennis stars won’t return to the studios.

Clare Balding – who took over from commendatory icon Sue Barker in 2023 following the 1976 French Open winner’s retirement the previous year – and Isa Guha will again front the coverage at the grass-court Grand Slam.

Former England cricketer Guha will set the Wimbledon ball rolling every morning on BBC Two while Balding will headline the afternoon’s play with the action switching to BBC One in the evening.

Several Grand Slam champions will also form part of the coverage from the BBC studio as tennis legends John McEnroe, Martina Navratilova, Billie Jean King, Pat Cash, and Tracy Austin will provide some insight and analysis.

“Top class tennis in the most prestigious setting,” Balding said.

“Epic five set thrillers to keep you on the edge of your seats, informed insight from Grand Slam winning pundits, in-depth analysis and fascinating features that build up the characters on court. John McEnroe, Martina Navratilova, Tim Henman, Tracy Austin and Pat Cash will all be back.”

The five major champions will be joined by former British stars Tim Henman and Annabel Croft.

Andrew Castle is once again set to be the lead specialist commentator while he will be joined by Cash and Croft while other famous names include Naomi Cavaday, Andrew Cotter, Jo Durie, Colin Fleming, Daniela Hantuchova, Dom Inglot, Abigail Johnson, Anne Keothavong, Robbie Koenig, David Law, Nick Lester, Alicia Molik, Ryan Harrison, John Lloyd and Todd Woodbridge, among others.

BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC 5 Sports Extra and BBC Sounds’ live coverage will be presented by Gigi Salmon and Clare McDonnell with Steve Crossman on evening duty.

Wimbledon champions Cash and Marion Bartoli will provide insight and analysis along with former world No 1 Clijsters, Croft, Laura Robson, Naomi Broady, Mark Woodforde, Jeff Tarango, Leon Smith, Coco Vandeweghe, Greg Rusedski, and Daniela Hantuchova.

Meanwhile, McEnroe and Henman will be back for Radio 5 Live’s iconic 6-Love-6 feature.

Three names who are missing from this year’s line-up after appearing in 2024 are former world No 1 Ashleigh Barty, 2022 Wimbledon finalist Nick Kyrgios and former British No 1 Johanna Konta.

Barty and Kyrgios made their BBC debuts during last year’s grass-court Grand Slam, but former champion Barty has just given birth to her second child, a daughter named Jordan, while Kyrgios revealed last week that he won’t return.

“It’s unfortunate but it’s probably their loss more than mine,” he told The Guardian.

The Australian added: “When someone’s beaten Federer, Nadal, Murray and Djokovic and has incredible insights, it’s very strange you wouldn’t want that person adding knowledge to tennis fans.”
