Get ready to watch Wimbledon, but don't expect Boris Becker this time around. Despite his Wimbledon triple crown, Becker won't grace the BBC's commentary booth this year, marking a 40-year milestone since his groundbreaking 1985 victory at the tournament. Deprived of the UK due to a prison stint and subsequent deportation, his exclusion isn't sitting well with him as Wimbledon holds a special place in his heart[1][2].

Speaking of, let's shift gears to Alexander Zverev. In Halle, he's been setting the court on fire and showing his grit, bouncing back from the brink of elimination to snag an impressive spot in the quarterfinals[3]. But we're yet to unveil the details behind a rumored incident at the tribune that didn't seem to slow him down one bit[4].

Time will tell how this Halle tournament unfolds for Zverev. Meanwhile, keep the faith that Boris Becker might make a comeback in the future, but for now, he'll be tuning in as a spectator from afar.
