BBC unveil its Wimbledon 2020 coverage

Wimbledon may be ‘on ice’ this year due to the pandemic, but the Beeb is still lining up over 50 hours of tennis action.

Sue Barker will be live from The All England Lawn Tennis Club from the 29th June as she looks back at some of the highlights from The Championships. Tim Henman and Boris Becker will join Sue in the studio with John McEnroe and Martina Navratilova adding their thoughts via video link. Current tennis stars will also speak about how they’ve been coping away from the tennis court.

The coverage continues with Wimbledon Rewind fronted by Clare Balding as she revisits some of the classics including the women’s 1969 final between Ann Jones and Billie Jean King, Boris Becker v Kevin Curren in 1985, the men’s final between Goran Ivanisevic and Andre Agassi in 1992 and the women’s 2012 final between Serena Williams and Agnieszka Radwanska. The series will air weekdays on BBC Two.

“Whilst there will be no live play this year, we’re looking forward to bringing plenty of Wimbledon action to tennis fans this summer. Incredible victories, crushing defeats and expert comment and opinions from our tennis teams will combine for a fortnight of entertainment.” – Director of Sport, Barbara Slater
