Tim Henman will appear at this year's Wimbledon as a commentator, the BBC has said.

Henman, 33, who retired from professional tennis in September last year, will appear with the TV team as an analyst and pundit.

He will provide commentary and studio analysis for BBC1 and BBC2 with the likes of Sue Barker, John Inverdale, John McEnroe and Boris Becker.

Henman said: "I'm delighted to be joining the BBC team at Wimbledon this year.

"It's exciting for me to return to Wimbledon in a non-playing capacity and I'm very much looking forward to working alongside other members of the BBC team."

Paul Davies, the BBC TV executive producer for Wimbledon, said: "Tim was an incredibly popular player and the success, drama and passion he experienced at Wimbledon has created a unique connection with both the Championship and British tennis fans.

"Returning to SW19 with the BBC team seems the perfect fit and his on-court experience will add a fascinating dimension to our coverage.

"We hope this will be the start of a successful partnership between Tim and the BBC."
