BORIS BECKER AT THE WIMBLEDON CHAMPIONSHIPS
It's great to be back commentating at Wimbledon after missing last year to work on the World Cup in my homeland, Germany.

A lot has been made of the outfits that I've been wearing this week.

I have been kitted out with some very fetching designs as I'm fronting a campaign for a well-known clothing manufacturer at Wimbledon.

I've had no input into the design of them - I know my limitations and they are the experts!

I wish a few of my former colleagues would go for a makeover.

They've got to realise that they are no longer 25 and their playing days are over.

I'm not naming any names, but they know who they are!

One person exempt from this is Sue Barker.

Her dress sense is excellent and she gets better every year - like a fine wine.

Onto the tennis, and four-time champion Roger Federer is the clear-cut favourite.

It's not going to be a walk in the park for him as there are a couple of young players that are coming on now, headed of course by Rafael Nadal.

The women's singles is far more open than the men's.

Justine Henin has just won the French Open and definitely has a strong chance of winning here.

She lost in the final to Ameile Mauresmo last year, but the defending champ hasn't been fully fit for the last couple of months so Henin could get her revenge.

But then there is Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova as well - it really is so open and anyone could win it.

Enjoy the rest of the Championships,

Boris

Boris Becker and John McEnroe, who each won three Wimbledon men's singles titles, are BBC TV's main pundits at this year's championships.
