Andrew Castle has revealed he has received four new TV job offers, including two outside tennis, just weeks after his emotional exit from the BBC following this year's Wimbledon. The 62-year-old former tennis player bid farewell to the All England Club after the BBC confirmed a "change of direction" with its coverage of the tournament.
Final Wimbledon broadcast
The men's final, which took place last month, marked Andrew's final appearance behind the microphone for the BBC. He was joined in the commentary box by Tim Henman and Andre Agassi, as Italian Jannik Sinner defended his singles title at SW19. Shortly after the final ended, Tim Henman paid tribute to his departing co-star, before Andrew signed off.
Andrew said to viewers: "That's it from me. Thank you very, very much for your company. What a pleasure and a privilege it has been to watch [Jannik Sinner] and Alcaraz and Federer and Djokovic and Nadal and Andy Murray, perhaps in particular, over the years. Take care, and thank you," reports Wales Online.
Future plans and job offers
Speaking to Betway, Andrew revealed what's next for him, saying: "Well, we've got a third grandchild on the way, we're building a house and we're getting it finished. We took the plunge and we're building a house, so that's got a few months to run. And, you know, there's always still bits and bobs of works outside of tennis, which I still do. I'll just continue to do those. I can promise you this, it doesn't get any less busy for some reason. I don't know why that is."
On the possibility of making a return to broadcasting, Andrew went on: "Well, I mean I really don't know. It's not a priority for me. I mean, I could come back, I've had two really good offers, actually, outside of tennis. Well, I have had two offers within tennis, two outside of tennis on the broadcasting side but at the moment, in August, I'm just going to take it easy."
Reflections on career
The star continued: "A couple of these job offers are in news and current affairs and it's just like, 'Oh my God' - it's a queasy ride for anybody who's a journalist at the moment. It's just an extraordinary world to try to make sense of. So, there's no rush. There is no rush. It's a privileged position to be that there's no rush. I know that."
Andrew then explained that he was "lucky" to be appointed as a commentator at the BBC, adding that he was "very grateful". He concluded: "Would I have liked to have carried on? Of course I would, but nobody ever knows when you're going to get that tap on the shoulder and say, 'Okay, you've had your time,' but, I mean, it's been absolutely unreal."
The Mirror has reached out to BBC representatives for comment. Coverage of Wimbledon 2026 is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
