The Aussie isn't playing at SW19 as he continues his rehabilitation from a lengthy injury lay-off, instead providing expert analysis for the Beeb. Kyrgios was delighted with Carlos Alcaraz in Centre Court's first match of the tournament, as defending champion and recent winner of this year's French Open , even going as far as to compare him to British tennis royalty. Alcaraz produced a classing Henman serve and volley to win a point midway through the first set.



"That looked like prime (Tim) Henman ," Kyrgios said in his analysis of Alcaraz , before fellow commentator Nick Lester, who was also joined in the booth with Henman, told off Kyrgios by replying: "Steady Nick it's only day one." function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
