Every year, tennis fans wait for the end of June as it brings them the most-anticipated tennis tournament, Wimbledon Championships. Starting on June 28, 2021, the revered grass-court event is making a comeback after being called off last year due to the worldwide pandemic. 2020 marked the first time since World War II that the iconic sporting event was canceled.
Hence, the excitement for Wimbledon is off the charts. But the question is: Which commentators will be taking the fans through the live-action on the Championships courts for the two weeks?
