Becker to be dropped from BBC Wimbledon coverage after UK ban

Boris Becker is set to be dropped as BBC Wimbledon pundit following his ban to enter the UK which makes it impossible for him to attend Wimbledon next year.

Boris Becker was released from a UK prison this week due to being a foreign national and as part of that deal, he was deported back to Germany. It's been a relief for both Becker and his family to see him be released after only 8 months but the early release has other consequences. One of his most famous positions was as part of the BBC Wimbledon coverage team.

He won't return to that position next year as he is banned from entering the UK. That will last until his full prison sentence does not expire and he's got close to two years left on that. He's always loved being part of the coverage team so he'll surely miss being able to be there for the event that made him famous many years ago.
