The BBC has announced today that three times Wimbledon champion and the youngest ever winner of the championships, Boris Becker, will be joining BBC Sport's TV commentary team for television coverage of the 2002 event.
Peter Salmon, Director of BBC Sport said: "We are delighted to welcome Boris Becker to the BBC. Becker's trade mark style of play at Wimbledon with his acrobatic antics are legendary and we're confident that he will bring such excitement to his commentary.
"He has always been a great favourite with the Wimbledon crowds since he was a youngster, and I'm sure he'll be a great hit with tennis fans watching BBC coverage at home. He's also good friends with John McEnroe and Pat Cash who commentate for us, so I'm sure he'll have some fun along the way."
Becker added: "As I have said many times, I have always regarded Wimbledon Centre Court as my living room, and I'm really looking forward to seeing this room from a different perspective. I am very honoured to be asked to be part of the BBC team, as the BBC for me has always represented the best in sports coverage."
