Nick Kyrgios stuns audience on his BBC debut
No one can have been surprised when Nick Kyrgios was announced as a member of the BBC commentary team for this year’s Wimbledon. After all, anyone who has ever seen him in action will know he has been auditioning for the role throughout his career.
His on-court appearances have invariably been soundtracked by a constant gurning churn of mutterings, invariably involving some complicated conspiracy of which he was the central victim. He has railed against umpires, against his own coaches, against anyone in the crowd who had enjoyed a touch too much of the local hospitality. This is a tennis player who simply could not shut up.
