Andre Agassi set for awkward reunion with BBC commentator after tense Wimbledon exchange

Andre Agassi is set for an awkward reunion with BBC commentator Andrew Castle at Wimbledon just a year after their uncomfortable on-air exchange went viral.The eight-time Grand Slam champion has confirmed he expects to return to the BBC's coverage later in the tournament, where he could once again find himself alongside Castle and former British No 1 Tim Henman.Agassi's BBC debut at Wimbledon last year generated plenty of attention after an exchange with Castle during Carlos Alcaraz's semi-final against Taylor Fritz.As Agassi analysed the match, Castle repeatedly interrupted to point out celebrities in the Royal Box and even encouraged the American to identify them.

Yeah, I was upset, and I will stay that way this year, knowing it's my last. But all good things come to an end.It would have been my 25th year. But who's bleating?
